- Pretend that we're not going to die
- Care manically about what other people think
- Imagine that we could one day be loved and understood
- Stay on our side despite knowing our flaws
- Melt at the cuteness of small children
- Look forward to the next few years with excitement
- Believe that we're collectively making progress
- Care about Humanity despite its flaws
- Look forward to the future
- Be excited about buying new things
- Keep traveling
- Keep seeing our so-called friends
- Believe in the possibility of a comfortable wise old age
- Not properly notice how beautiful life is
