Hope Is a Promise of Future Meaning and Future Pleasure

Happiness means living in a beautiful reality. A beautiful reality has a beautiful past, present, and future. A beautiful past is not necessarily devoid of suffering. The totality and meaning of the past should be beautiful. The present interpretations of the past should be beautiful.
Hope is a promise of future meaning and future pleasure. The extreme happiness is not possible without the hope of future meaning and pleasure. Where the future is unknown and death is a mystery, hope is not attained effortlessly.

The Man and His Inner Conflicts

Having preference is a part of existence. Having preference is one source of movement and change. Having preference is also the essence of life. I mentioned that preferences root in W1 compositions or W2compositions. However, there is a competition between W1 preferences and W2 preferences. The real question is what preferences should precede. There was a time when mankind was solely controlled by his own instincts, and those instincts ruled his preferences. In Darwinian sense, those random preferences that led to survival were passed to the offspring of the survivors through their genetic make-up. However, after thinking processes flourished by the invention of language, the preferences of W2 realm began to expand. The instincts pushed into the subconscious level, and the W2 preferences began to contradict W1 preferences through elaborate W2 justifications. This is the point that human beings become confused creatures with serious internal crisis. Their W1 preferences (including their instincts) clash with his W2 preferences (including their thoughts, beliefs, and meanings).
