“The past is fixed, but the future—it could be better.  It could be better, some precise amount—the amount that can be achieved, perhaps, in a day, with some minimal engagement.  The present is eternally flawed.  But where you start might not be as important as the direction you are heading.  Perhaps happiness is always to be found in the journey uphill, and not in the fleeting sense of satisfaction awaiting at the next peak.  Much of happiness is hope, no matter how deep the underworld in which that hope was conceived.” ~ Jordan Peterson, via 12 Rules for Life (Page 94)
