the world were as it should be

Just finished watching the "Deep Down" episode of Angel, in which Angel is rescued from the depth of the ocean and returns to tell his son Connor this:

Nothing in the world is the way it ought to be. It's harsh and cruel, but that's why there's us: champions. Doesn't matter where we come from, what we've done or suffered, or even if we make a difference. We live as though the world were as it should be to show it what it can be.

I love that.  We live as though the world were it should be.  That's right - that's what we need to do, no matter how bad life treats us, how many curve balls get thrown our way, how many misfortunes and heartbreaks befall us, we have to live as though this were a beautiful world, a beautiful life.  Everything is just.  We are all brave.  We fight through things.  We love as if nobody has ever tore our heart out before and discarded it as if it were worthless and meaningless.  Because that's what we need to make this all better.
