Level Grinding

The question of happiness, can happiness be found in pursuit or in achievement? Science suggests, as though science were a noun that could speak, that happiness precedes achievement. That in fact without finding happiness first, achievement is dust in mouth of the achiever.

What then does this have anything at all to do with magic?

Magic is make believe. That is to say we make what we believe come to pass. Magic is the acting as though the goal were inevitable. Magic is stepping into a fantasy that we wish were true and acting it into life.

Achieving goals on life is the result of what role-playing games call level grinding. Magic and religion gamify the process of level grinding your life. Allowing you to make believe until what you believe is made.
