Filtered Happiness

I believe my Humanity acts as a filter by diminishing the intensity of Truth (Light).

I believe my Humanity acts as a filter by intercepting and presenting Life's impurities (Dark) as a temptation; or as a reminder.

I believe (as Alexander Pope said in his Essay on Man) that "Whatever is, is right" mostly (only?) because I cannot change what 'at this moment' is, nor can I change what has been. However, this should never be an excuse for inaction.

I believe I should act 'in this moment' with an eye to the future.

I believe the following: I should not say or think "it should be better" - I should never say or think "it should have been better" - I should not say or think "it will get better" - instead, I should say and think "it can get better" - and then I should work at it.

I believe that I don't always deserve to be Happy; but that's okay because sometimes I do.

I believe Icarus had the right idea (poorly executed) - we should fly to the Light.
