welcome to life. it happens. nothing is ever good or bad; thinking makes it so. each aspect of life is a black-box function. something's meaning becomes clear when you apply it to a situation. those without dirty hands are wrong. truth is a taylor series. you must approach it with what terms you have, and encounter more terms to point you in the right direction.how to be happy: love yourself. this makes everything else a lot easier. you are human and you are beautiful. love everybody else. life is a positive-sum game if you want it to be. you will encounter things you do not like. sometimes you can change them to better suit yourself. more often you must change yourself to live happily with them. sometimes, the lighting will be bad. you must realize when this happens, that you may understand that it is not the default.on growth: mistakes will be made as you go through life. this is a natural occurance, as you are not perfect. when something goes wrong, view it as an inevitable expense of life. you shall learn from the experience in order to better yourself for the future. life is a journey in which your goal should be to accumulate understanding.
