Happiness and the Good Life
2. Stoicism
3. Others find meaning in living through religion and the faith that there
is a Creator who plans well the universe for humans to enjoy.
It is the duty of humans to know the ways in which the Creator has
planned everything in order to find peace and live the good life prepared
and planned by the good Creator.
Others live their life in a deistic way, believing that there’s a creator
who created all things but as humans we need to live our life without
depending on this creator.
process is easy
4. Another perspective of living the good life is through humanism.
The development of this thought came when some people in Europe tried
to get away from religion and from what they thought as ancient
superstition.
Those who adhere to humanism focus on reason and have tendency to set
aside faith.
Humans can design their destiny without the thought of grace, without the
guidance from God and without the Church.
One thinker who can be associated with humanism and the enlightenment
era is Francois-Marie Arouet or widely known as Voltaire. He asserted
that human life and its purpose is not to reach heaven through pious
acts and sacrifices but to attain happiness through the progress of
sciences and arts since through sciences and arts humans can attain
what their nature is destined.
