Good question. *I didn't realize I was implying about easier not
  being valid though but I've never been very good at seeing the
  implications of my words, so it's likely I did without realizing
  it :P I have this take on it, that I fight with myself with on
  many occasions: My perspective is valid and my existence is
  valid. For me to come to full acceptance of my ownvalidity, I've
  found, for myself, that accepting the perspective of others is a
  requirement. In short, all perspectives are valid and all
  existences have merit. Alas, that also includes the perspective
  that says "Ken, your perspective is invalid and your existence
  is invalid". The negation of my perspective or even obliteration
  isn't so bad though. It's hardest when it's in the "uncanny
  valley" as it were... where my validity and/or/both/neither/NA
  the validity of someone else has a diverse set of connects and
  disconnects. Sorting it all out is a detangling Christmas-lights
  situation... whose electricity is passing through me to get
  there at full Power Grid levels :P
