Validation can not be found here.

Validation is a gift you give to yourself. Don't look for it on the streets. Don't look for it in the form of praise. Don't look for it in a manual of standards.

Validation is not your problem.

Right now, you should be thinking about your motives. You looked for validation and it failed, right here on this web page. Do you feel empty and hollow now?

There is no point to anything on this page vis a vis validation. Secretly, you know this already.

So what's the lesson here? Maybe simply this: you've wasted enough time already doing this. The answers are elsewhere.

Go read a book.
