I Believe Life Is a Life Long Lesson(both)
Have you led a good life? Do you do more good than harm?
I often hear, in relation to a deceased person, "They led a Good Life"
So what is a good life?
Is it one where you are loved and respected by the majority of your family?
What about those who come from severely broken families?
Is a good life derived from satisfaction with your chosen career? As an example, you have chosen an altruistic career in which you earn a high enough income to be able to donate meaningful amounts of monies to certain causes.
Surely a Tradesman can and does receive just as much satisfaction from his achievements?
Are people attracted to you because you are always positive and attentive to their needs?
What about your own needs? Surely leading a Good Life entails having your own needs met as well?
One can not go through life giving of oneself without receiving anything in return.
As seen through the deaths of comedians/actors whom we thought, "Had it all"
Does hiding your true feelings really allow one to live a Good Life?
Personally I think if one can look back on their life and see that there were more good times than bad then maybe we can say we have led a "Good Life"
Even those who came from broken families, if they managed to come to terms with that upbringing and moved forward in a positive way, can be said to have lived a Good Life eventually.
