Life

We measure the "good life" by how well we stick to our path. Exactly how our departure, subjective thoughts arose in the past. The measure of the good life is a cultural and social concept that changes over time. The dominant belief in what makes us useful now is our personal achievement (in other historical periods it was religious rituals, childbirth, etc.) We were not created to serve ourselves existentially. In fact, we classify it as something other than a mental disorder. Everything, even the deepest everyday work, seems convenient only when it is added to something at some point.
