Consequences
From House MD episode 3-12: One Day, One Room —
HOUSE: If you believe in eternity, then… life is irrelevant. Same way that a bug is irrelevant in comparison to the universe.
EVE: If you don’t believe in eternity, then what you do here is irrelevant.
HOUSE: Your actions here are all that matters.
EVE: Then nothing matters. There’s no ultimate consequences. I couldn’t live with that.

Hmmm. I honestly don’t know what to believe. Or what I want to belive. POVs welcome.

Advice?
Fountainhead, Ayn Rand, page 261 of Centennial Edition -
Keating to Roark:
“It’s a secret, Howard. A rare one. I’ll give it to you free of charge with my compliments: always be what people want you to be. Then you’ve got them where you want them. I’m giving it free because you’ll never make use of it. You’ll never know how. You’re brilliant in some respects, Howard, I’ve always said that — and terribly stupid in others.”
Terrible advice.

Happiness
Happiness is not achieved by the conscious pursuit of happiness; it is generally the by-product of other activities.
