I couldn't fit all of my core beliefs above:

We live in the best time and place in the history of mankind.

In a free and educated society, the whole will make more right decisions than wrong.

The US is the greatest nation to ever exist. The U.S. Constitution lays the foundation for a free and just society where we can truly focus our energy toward the pursuit of happiness.

If you are not happy, look inward. This world is too beautiful, and life is too short to spend it unhappy. If you think sacrificing any freedoms will bring happiness, look inward.

Religion is a net plus as each of us searches for answers to the mysteries within us and in this wonderful world.

In each of us there exist darkness and light. Both are necessary to survive, but in the end we need to let our goodness and the goodness of mankind shine.
