What is a good life ? And why it is important ?

Question

Please explain thoroughly, i will provide BA.

Answer 1

"Good" is a subjective term. If you are satisfied and consider your life to be "good" then you are having a good life. It is not necessarily important, but having a "good" life is better compared to having a "bad" life, dont you think?

Answer 2

I can tell you what is good life first:

Good life means which is good for yourself and for the society at large. It is not your own good. For example, you feel it is good for you to smoke, but it is really not good for your lungs and not good for person next to you when you in public place. So even though you get momentarily satisfaction (good) from some action like smoking or drinking liquor (except as medication) or drug or gambling or having s*x with a girl without her consent or theft or murder or any criminal act (refer your country's criminal law and find out which are those) are not good. Such acts are either forebidden by your religious book or by the Government or by the society or by tradition or  without any written book or by Science. Every grown up people know what is good and what is bad through the above 5 sources. So all those who are leading a life without any forebidden thing is leading a "good life". Some minor acts which are not good in a country may be good as that is practised as a tradition. For example, kissing on the chin when a person meets his or her friend, whether the latter is a lady or gentleman. In India it is not a tradition, which it is o.k. in western countries..

Now " why is it important":

It is important, because only by leading good life the Society in which we are living will be a safe place to live. If there is no order for any thing and every one does what he/she feels like, then there will be chaos. Science says eating rotten food items is harmful to your life and you will not eat such things. This way I can cite thousands of examples. This is how it becomes important.

Answer 4

A good life is one that is happy and you feel peace inside knowing that you've done what you want to do and not hurt anyone in the process.  It's important to have a good life for your mental wellbeing, and your mental wellbeing affects those people around you, and those you come into contact with.  You only live once, make it a good one!  Life is short.
