What do you think is quality of life? Is it a way of seeing things - or what determines quality of life?

some people said: it is a life where we live the way of living that we won't ever regret it in the future. even if it's too complicated to live it, because this is perfection, but I agree with their statement though. so how we live this life will be different each other, but the aim is the same: that's the way of life we won't regret after we reach the future time. I heard some old people who looked back, thinking of the past times, and they were grateful for the past days, even if these were dark times back then. and when we asked them, "would you change these things if you could turn back time?" they said "no, those were the best I could ever do. and seeing myself now, I won't regret the old days I've been through." so I guess, how you spend the life so that you won't regret it in the future, is what that determines your quality of life. and that will always be different for each person.

I think that a good quality of life has to have good health, good luck and happiness. The person that has it would be happy and fill fulfilled with their accomplishments. They would feel satisfied with their life, get on well with the members of their family and they might in a career that they really love. A poor lady in Kenya might be in good health, be lucky and have a smile on her face must of the time. She would feel happy and pleased that she is a house wife. She would be satisfied with her home and love hr family. She would not be wealthy.

quality of life - quality of life is real diffcuilt to answer but i can say it's the way we live and express with freedom.
Theres not a single answer to this question, It is what you make it,. What would be good quality to one person may not be for another. What is ones worth? Are you kind, helpful and understanding? Do people feel good after they have been with you or dread the next time they see you? Lifes quality is what you make it, even when the bad times come around and they will. Its how you cope and then decide to deal with life.its how people feel about you . go for the best

It is true that there could be a lot of answer for this because there are no certain standards that we could use to measure each life to say it's quality. We don't have a guidelines, unless God has created one- oh well the 10 commandments can be use as a checklist- but I guess it is not everything. As for me quality of life will be on the way on how we live each day with a purpose. It is our journey towards our ultimate purpose in life. How we affect other people's lives positively and negatively and how we learn on every circumstances is essential. Ho we pick up the pieces every time we fall and how we stand from that fall. It is more of the processes we use, rather than the result. It is not enough that we live our lives, it is HOW we live it that matters. =)

Thanks so much for your respond. It's interesting to read all the answers... You speak of God - and I come to think of that in the Bible it says that with many advisors a plan can succeed... I think from that - that it is good to listen to different people to make your own reflection more thought-through.

Ive always assosciated quality of life with faculties...rightly or wrongly!! As in if someone lives a good long life its ok as long as they have a quality of life..ie..there sight/hearing /mental functioning..etc.. But I do see the flip side wherby you could say quality of life...nice house /car/good job.... But I look upon those things as material...but then again they do amount to quality!!

The Quality of a life does depends on various things you do in your life. The quality depends on past things, present things and may also depends on your Future things i.e., the things you do in the near future. It does depend on your Behavior with the people and friends and Family. The relationship you develop with the people will increase your quality of life. The way you live in the Society and the way you act about the things. The happy moments you shared with your friends and Family and the grief of your friends sharing with you, your helping nature, your kindness, your attitude and many more things does reflect on your Quality of Life. This is a very small explanation of Quality of Life. You understand more when you think about it more.
