The key point is "should be true." We shouldn't believe that we *can*
fly to the stars today, because we can't, but we should believe that
starflight should be true tomorrow, because if we work on it we can
make it true. If the truth is that I can't do what I want, then I have
no use for the truth, and I prefer to watch TV and drink all day, or
worse. Better working to make dreams true.
