"I believe that imagination is stronger than knowledge - myth is more potent than history - dreams are more powerful than facts - hope always triumphs over experience - laughter is the cure for grief - love is stronger than death."

— - Robert Fulghum

If true - and my guess is that, for most people, it is - then overall, this belief is unfortunate. The inverse of most of these statements is where actual power lies. This belief puts its faith in phantom power over personal ghosts and phantasms, placating and consoling but effecting little beyond that interior.

But I’ll grant you the last two postulates. Laugh and love in spite of everything, because these are the healthiest of delusions and the realest of deliriums. Laugh and love but shun the rest as prisons of the mind. Laugh and love and then impose your interior truths on the world. The rest traps you within yourself; love and laughter break through to the Real.
