The Secret Of Happiness Is Variety, But

People Are Happiest When They're Trying To Achieve Goals That Are Difficult But Not Out Of Reach.

Hateful, Blasphemous, Prejudiced, Vulgar, Rude, Or Ignorant Remarks Are The Music Of A Free Society, And The Relentless Patter Of Idiots Is How We Know We're In One. When All The Words In Our Public Conversation Are Fair, Good, And True, It's Time To Make A Run For The Fence.

The Mistakes We Make When We Try To Imagine Our Personal Futures Are Also Lawful, Regular, And Systematic. They, Too, Have A Pattern That Tells Us About The Powers And Limits Of Foresight In Much The Same Way That Optical Illusions Tell Us About The Powers And Limits Of Eyesight.

People Want To Be Happy, And All The Other Things They Want Are Typically Meant To Be A Means To That End.

To Ensure That Our Views Are Credible, Our Brain Accepts What Our Eye Sees. To Ensure That Our Views Are Positive, Our Eye Looks For What Our Brain Wants. The Conspiracy Between These Two Servants Allows Us To Live At The Fulcrum Of Stark Reality And Comforting Illusion.
