I have recently found a philosophy that allows me to be happy. Allow me to be brief and decisive; also the TLDR version is in my signature.

1) Freedom and predestination. Choice and destiny. While they seem to cancel each other they in fact exist in perfect harmony just as the paradox is the only thing capable of creating itself. Everything is God's fault just as much as it is our choice, therefore he died for us.

2) The knowledge of "Good and Evil" is simply wrong. There is only give and take, reap and sow. Both are merely subjective terms for actions that have appropriate consequences. When you think you are "good" you become full of yourself and sow evil. When you think of yourself as "evil" you become humble and sow good. Everyone who commits Evil thinks of himself as Good.

3) The child is born perfect and slowly corrupted by the world. He is unlearned enough to be innocent of sin, unadulterated enough to be righteous, undamaged enough to have fun, and humble or curious enough to learn and grow. However due to his corruption he decays, so it would appear there are three states when in fact there are only two. The man has literally "fallen from grace."

4) Love and Conflict are what drives a good story. For you must come to love the characters and experience the plot. To have only love would cause us to be satisfied with oblivion and never evolve or grow. To have only conflict obviously causes us to die. We are sown in love, but reaped through conflict, and the challenges presented in life. If two people in a relationship try to hide from conflict it will eventually tare them apart.

Our sorrows are of our own doing, from past lives eternal all is possible for him that believes. So the philosophy is to try and understand the life you have been made to live and embark upon your own journey.

Just as health of the body involves exercise, so does fitness also apply to mental, emotional, and spiritual well being. The healthy mind is one that explores and grows, the healthy heart is one that increases the intensity of emotions and finds enjoyment in them. The healthy soul explores and believes.

There are many here who are damaged and ravaged by the sorrows of this world. What I am saying here the most is to rediscover your inner child. Cultivate your sense of joy, fun, and playfulness and you will be happier. Don't worry about the Paradox of life, just embrace it for if you fight against it... you lose! That life has been made to cancel itself out as well as create itself is just another paradox. However, it is resolved when you realize both sides are the same.
