What is a good life?

To me the true essence of what a good life is, is to be happy with what you've got. This means, even if you've got a million dollars, that doesn't mean you're happy. That just means you're rich, but you might not have a friend in the world. I think the ideal compromise is to have a healthy balance of family, friends, and fortune.
However, the happiest people I've seen are the ones with nothing at all, just a family and a lot of hope. So that shows that if you appreciate what you have and hope for the best you've got all you need to be happy.

  1. Sonja, yes I would agree ( and research has even shown) that money cannot buy happiness. We do indeed need a balance in our lives.
