I like the spirit, but the phrasing needs work. I'm probably not the best person to ask about this but here's what I can identify that needs improvement.
1) "learn to love finding out you were wrong" feels long and clunky. Can we say this in fewer syllables?
2) For some reason, having three sentences of the same form carries a lot of impact, while having only two feels weak. We need another sentence of the form "if you X, then learn to love Y". Perhaps we could change the third sentence to fit this form?
3) "If your emotions are not appropriate to your values" also feels long and clunky.
Sorry about not offering much constructive, but since I'm hopefully not the best writer on this site someone else ought to.
3) sounds like, "If you can't be with the one you love, love the one your with"

I was meditating on the word "disillusionment" the other day, and it stuck me as odd that it has such a negative connotation... doesn't being disillusioned mean that you see a truth that was previously hidden from you by a mirage of falsehood? The human-universal negative emotional response to finding out you were wrong seems counterproductive in the extreme, and I'm still working towards eliminating it from my mind. So I crafted this brief litany, and I think that with some help from the LW community it could become a useful tool for rationalists, much like the Litanies of Tarski and Gendlin. My "first draft" is:
"If you love truth, learn to love finding out you were wrong. If you hate illusion, learn to love disillusionment. If your emotions are not appropriate to your values, do something about it!"
What say you?
