Living the "Good Life"

Hey To Those Who Probablly Gave up on This Blog,

Its been about 2 years or so since I've written in my blog. Only created for an assignment for school, for some reason I felt compelled to return to its whimsical wonders. Oh the art of a blog, one can write about what ever they want, and to pick up where I left off, I do believe I was writing about the vague, and yet ever-so-complicated topic of Life. Well this time I've come prepared with plenty more ideas in hand to spark the imagination.Now having taken a turn of life-changing events that have altered my life as it is now, I've had to re-arrange my views, my perspectives, and my path on this long journey through life. Things happen, and you have to take them in stride I suppose, the good and the bad. In some ways, things are inevidible, and bound to happen at some point or another. I think the path that I am now on, is more logical, and will certainly benefit me in the long run.

Sometimes I think that its not such a bad thing to examine the path you're on. Like questioning to yourself whether the life you are living makes you genuinly happy or not, etc. As philosopher Socrates believed, the purpose in spreading the word of his philosophy, was to teach people to question themselves and examine their lifestyles in ways that help them understand how to live a truely blessed life, or the "Good life", as he liked to call it, in order for the soul to prosper in the afterlife. Doing things that are good for the mind and soul, instead of pouring all energy into posessions and materialistic things which are of less importance, is the key. It is the small, non-material, non-technological posessions we have that are of true importance.

So maybe consider the way you're living. Is it rightous? But most importantly, does it make you happy? Are you genuinly doing what is good for your mind and soul? In saying to consider these questions, don't misunderstand my advice, don't dramatically alter your lifestyle, unless you feel it's necessary. In cases where it may be needed, listen to your gut, your soul, and you will know when it's right. No one knows your life better than you. You are of the greatest importance.

Anyway, back to an assignment I've been long procrastinating..
