What do you consider a good life?

I consider a good life to contain friends, family, a special partner, freedom, and happiness. Friends are important, because they will always be there if they are your true friends. Family is important because they are the ones that brought you here, and will ALWAYS, not matter what, be there for you. A special partner is something not everyone needs, but I certainly do. I get too depressed without one. I also want to find the right one. Freedom is very important. I hate people that tell me what to do, make me feel like Im trapped. Happiness, well, that comes from me having all of the above.

Good life means spend some time with our elders means our parents and spend some time with our child and spend some time with our friends and in our work. The first priority is family and work then if we have time then can give for our friends. Happiness means chatting in dinner with all members.

Hey, Well I consider someone to have a good life if they are happy, if they have a good family, friends, have enough money to live a relaxed life. But you should also not be stressed or argue, that is not a good life if you do those things. Make sure you have a good day, God bless and Happy Lotting!!

In my opinion a good life seems to be enough to contain the happiness.I believe that it will bring me most of thins we really need.while naturally it comes from our family,friends and partners.so it must be decided by our attitude.

Every people in the world aspire for having good life, some factors can lead them to such aspirations by finding a stable job and earn for a living. Then life will be in prosperous if they know how to save the money and not to live in a luxurious life.

Though might be simple but life is good as long as you have shelter where you and the family can reside. You have stable job and good earnings, to provide the family enough food, paid the bills on time and allowances, for little leisures, for other expenses that maybe incurred and little savings for unexpected needs. Living in comfort and at peace will make a good life as well. Good family relation will avoid worries and disappointments. Love for God, family and neighbors will complete a good life.

The good life is what you make it. Plain and simple. If you are rich and surrounded by friends and family, but still not content, there is an expectation you yourself have set, that you yourself have not found. Yet you could be poor, and with nothing, no friends or anything, a loner to say the least, but somewhere in your loneliness you find ways to make yourself soothed, and feel at least not alone. To feel like the world makes sense, that everything is as it should be. That is happiness to me. I told my best friend the other day, "I'm happy." But why? Because I feel that everything in my life is as good as it can be at this exact moment. I have problems, worries, enemies, and foes. I have doubts, and concerns, like you alike, especially easily to relate to anyone today, about money. But I figure "Who doesn't?" I have problems like the next, but at some point you must be thankful for the problems YOU have. You must be thankful for the cards you were dealt. You think things can't get worse, God, for those who believe, will show you it can. Take for instance my best-friend, girl troubles, money, school, the typical student problems. Add to the mix a little brother, and father, both trying to commence from this world. Life has a way of showing you to be appreciative of what you do have around. The good life is what you make it even in the worst of times, I am living the good life.

Happiness is most important for me. I always bear a heart of appreciation as I believe I have been leading a quite happy life, with my beloved ones around me, family, friends and my boyfriend.

first and foremost good, loving parents. they set the tone for the rest of a person's life like it or not. then good friends as you grow and an education and not having to struggle with money and worry from week to week how to pay your bills etc. a life partner if that is what you want and a family of your own, again if that is what you want. basically not having to give up on any of your dreams makes for a good life.

Hello Canowyrms!!! Yes, we do need good friends, a special partner, freedom and happiness to live a perfect life. But in my case, I won't be happy if the world around me is unhappy. I want everyone around me to live a perfect life full of love and caring. And by everyone, I also mean every creatures not only human being. I get easily depressed when I some cruel acts of the nature. I want everyone happy. But is it possible? Certainly not. This nature is not that perfect that keeps everything in this world happy. The world we live is not perfect and so our life is not perfect. The good friend, family, everyone goes away with time and we can't do anything for that than just to keep ourselves strong and slowly recover within ourselves the irrecoverable loss. No matter, how happy we become for most part of the life, there are equally heart rendering moments that goes on with our life. So my definition for having a good life is pretty strict in my case. With this don't think that I am the pessimistic person. I am really optimistic. But I just wanted to point out the weakness of this mortal world. We can't really be happy with the physical things of the world, all of them are mortal. So if we can control our heart, our soul or whatever, then it is the happiest life we can ife. Well these are my opinions. Happy mylotting...

I consider having a good life when the people around you are the ones that you lvoe the most.. when you have more than enough to eat, sleep and any necessity needed..When you are doing the work that you love the most no matter how lame it can be. There are many things that I consider a part of having a good life. To each has its own and to me for as long as the person I love the most is with me plus I have enough for my family and i am doing what I love the most..I consider that a good life. :)
