Your thoughts are more valid for one who has had a healthy childhood, supportive and possibly loving parents, as well as good friends. Lacking one or more of those, the picture is very different.
It is much more a case of continuing to attempt to see the beauty, in order not to become as cold as the world and life can seem to be.
The party varies, the beauty can be more difficult to observe, yet it is ever there. Being steadfast, having grit, and always trying to be loving is a practice, not meant for one but for all.
Being only or overly focused on one’s self becomes very limiting. That more than any thing else ends the party. We are not separate and apart from the universe but united and a part of both it and life.
