Not many people get to live the good life. It entails a lot of things in order for it to be considered good. I think that some of these things would be not having to worry about where your next paycheck is coming, when you would be getting your next meal. People not having to worry about paying taxes would also be a thing to be considered in the good life. Someone who lives the good life probably does not have to worry about any type of real labor, all of their things are taken care by someone who hires them and they get to lay back and hangout all day. Their family lie is also an important factor in the good life in whether they are happy with their relationships to other members of their family and if the people around them are giving off a positive vibe.
I agree with your assessment of the good life. I like how you gave many examples of things that, when put together, equal the good life. And that not all of those things were physical needs. It is definitely important to have strong family relationships!
ReplyDeleteI noticed this is very different from people's views of the good life during the 20s...
