What is the good life

The Path of Permanent Paradise There is one question that has been debated by many: what is the good life? In fact, what is good? Good is often associated with objects or events that bring about positive emotions. Since these emotions are invoked by different things for different people, the good life is different for each and every single person. Some believe in material objects that bring about temporary happiness. Perhaps moderation is key, bettering the body and mind better through strict limitations. Even honour may be a factor since the emotions of others can influence their perspective on life. In reality, these factors can never truly grant anyone long lasting happiness. Every day, at least one dreadful event occurs. These tragedies are unstoppable, yet most people live their life trying to avoid the inevitable. In the absence of these events however, how would anyone know what good is? It is best to let everything happen as it may, regardless of the possible outcomes. Good cannot be perceived without experiencing the opposite, as it makes experiencing the awful worthwhile. Unpleasant lessons teach people to work towards making the pleasant permanent because that in comparison to the temporary good can never be taken away. In life, many terrible events occur that are predestined and thus unavoidable. However, humans have a tendency to try to avoid potentially harmful events while solely pursuing pleasures. As a result, the mind creates ambiguity between pleasure and tragedy. This confusion disappears when the brain categorizes pain and bliss through events or objects, to experience the feeling of elation again and to avoid agony. However, an overabundance of either leads to dullness of the mind. Therefore, people should live their lives without any restrictions and make the best of the circumstances. Experiencing the negative makes people more appreciative of the opposite. Avoidance of atrocious events is futile since such things will happen
