THIS ISNT DEBATE IT SHOULD BE MOVED TO LOUNGE

a good life would be to live without war or other casualties of life....

the good life is whatever you want it to be. its finding a belief that fits you, its achieving your goals.. its being hurt so that you know what true happiness is.. and its finding true love...

being happy, being who you want to be...

That's an extremely cynical view.. BECAUSE you have onli one life, shouldnt you try to make it as good as possible?

being happy.. not wanting / needing anything but happiness

Everyone seems to be saying happiness.. but if you're in a constant state of happiness.. and know nothing else.. wouldnt it be somewhat boring.. I mean, you need the sad things in life to realli appreciate the happy moments ..

youre completley right..

Personally, I think a good life is when you have all the emotions..

Being sad, being happy, being excited, being anxious, being nervous, being depressed, being neutral, being loved, loving others..

Somehow, I think that if you feel most of those emotions, you have a pretty good life.

You need sadness.. then happyness usually comes around.. and that's good.

Sometimes depression is good, too.. in a sense. You get a good time to really think about things..
I don't know, maybe I'm just crazy.. but I think you need to feel all sorts of emotions in order to have a good life..

yea you should make it as good as possivble, but you'll never have another life to compare it to. people are always like "my lief is so bad. blah blah blah" but it's the only one they have so they might a well make the best of it and stop worrying about how good or bad it is.

Having experience, realizing your faults and accepting them.

Being satisfied with what you have and what you've done.

I automatically thought being happy would mean being able to work out the kinks to your sadness. Meaning, you have sadness and all those other emotions, but in the end, your happiness overwhelms everything else.

Happiness=love=satisfaction=success=all the "good" things in life.

Yeah.
Experience leads to wisdom.. and wisdom leads to.. everything, really.
If you're wise and smart.. you sometimes have the better end of the deal..

my idea of a good life is one in which you can reflect upon and see that the good in your life outways the bad. to me a good life isn't perfect. its just normal in the way that when people look at it they think "not bad. she's doing good." _smile.gif
sheepy
great life.. hard question i mean like we all got our own diff points of view in dat. nd i dink its not just happiness but realizin the greatness of life itself . like living everyday to the fullest? lik tmm ur just gonna diee. im not too sure..
empyrean
having "the good life" is more or less just your perspective...of course happiness is good but there is no such thing as endless happiness...in life you should experience all different types of emotions, whether you like them or not

a good life is one that you do not regret as a whole. you may regret some parts of your life, but not your life as a whole. a good life is only what you make of it. it is different for every person. it depends upon each and every persons individual ideals.
SH0RTAYE
MY LiFE is perfect !! hahah just keeding .. a perfect life is to love and be loved and ... i guess having more happy moments than sad moments ... and .. achieving all your goals and that kind of **** . :]

a good life is well...being happy

edit//
i take it back, isnt really a good or bad life, because the harsher sadness u feel, the more joyness u feel later on, and vice versa
[i]LLMATiC
basiclly the good life is wakin up every morning with the ones you love.. knowin all ur friends are your friends for the right reasons.. and if your famous then they arent ur friends bcause of that.. jus bein happy thats all
is2diexd
i think this can REALLY differ because everyone has different values,

but to me having a good life means being successful.

good morally would be a christian life.
good meaning enjoyable, would be a christian life. Life with purpose is a good enjoyable life. that doesnt mean everything will be peachy, there will be test, you wont always be..*breaks into song* IM WALKING ON SUNSHINE.. ok u get it now.

living life to the fullest, finishing everything you've started, leaving something behind for others to enjoy, being happy, just being satisfied with living, and when you die you are ready to live earth behind, because you have accomplished everything by living the good life.

A good life is a life on the beach in Puerto Rico sipping some DonQ and Coke.

there's no such thing as "a good life". it's just fragments of our imagination.. it's impossible for someone to live a life full of happiness and equality.
The_AZN_Godfather
Obviously, everyone has they're own opinions on this.

And if you went really deep into it, it can get into religion.
Like, God, Nirvana, Karma, Reincarnation, Hedonism... and all this other stuff that has to do with religion.

So I guess it's somewhat depends on what you believe in.

Saying something is "good" is usually an opinion...
HuGzNKissEs
"a good life" cannot be defined by one person...each person has their own true feeling of "a good life"...of course 90% of people(my own statistic) probably never feel that they live "a good life"because human nature causes us to always want more
