The secret to mental health lies in pursuit of goodness and virtue



   The secret to mental health lies in the pursuit of Goodness.  
   But to pursue it you must believe in it.  You must be 
   thoroughly convinced that it truly does dominate over evil --- 
   that it is really worth pursuing.  You cannot pursue it if you 
   are convinced, as many people are, that "Bad men always win and 
   good men always lose in this world".  You must be convinced 
   that "Good men always win and bad men always lose", that 
   Goodness always wins in the end, that Evil always destroys 
   itself in the end.  Only then can you really love Goodness and 
   Virtue in the way that is necessary. 

   The secret to mental health lies in loving God and the 
   principles of Goodness and Virtue that he represents, in 
   believing in his principles, in living a life of principle.
