What would you consider a Good Life?

Answer what question(s) you want, if you desire to answer in the first place.

I. What would you consider a Good Life?
II. Are you living it or are you progressing towards your goals?
III. Where on Earth would you like to live/move (if you aren’t already in your ideal location and IF that would be the case, since you may want to move, to explore the world or some parts of it)?


My answers:
I. I would like to be disease-free, to be wealthy (not necessarily billionaire or millionaire lifestyle, but still, I would like a good life - to afford/be able to travel, to invest, to buy quality stuff, whether food, drinks, clothes, cars, etc., you know what I’m talking about), I would like to max my looks and to have a stronger and better body (in terms of looks), I’m NOT sold on being famous, I care about being appreciated, but idk if being famous would be my thing…
A good life would mean that I would be able to help poor and sick people, animals, to be able to do good in this world, in a material(istic) sense, but, to be honest, to help others is not my greatest goal, first I need to improve my life and there are so many things/areas that I would like to improve, starting with my health…
Well, worldwide, a World without wars, hunger, poverty, misery, sickness, corruption, etc. would be a Great World, but for now we have to improve our lives however we can, in this world…

II. Well, I’m definitely Not living it, but at the basics, I’m trying to progress towards the ideal life and Captain’s fields are of great support/help for my health and well-being; I don’t stress, I try to be positive (most of the time I am) and I try to focus on my goals, feeling good/positive and calm (in the here and now), because otherwise I would undermine myself…

III. I don’t have a favorite place, wherever is good for me, as long as I have basic things and as long as I can improve my life, But, to be honest, I don’t think that Eastern Europe (or Europe as a whole) has a great future (at least not in the following years, perhaps even decades),…, yet again, we create our future, so I still think that it’s possible to improve our lives, individually and as a society/collective…

I don’t know…

In many ways, I look towards death. The Christian ideal said that this world is transient but Heaven is eternal. I have limited sight beyond this world, so that idea doesn’t provide great assurance. When Taoism drew me in, I found that many of the moral ideas in Christianity had a basis in the energetic structure of reality. And, with the alchemical lineage of Taoism, the emphasis is on transmuting everything in a person’s life until nothing remains except the original spirit in Heavenly form. In that sense, it is also oriented towards death since everything in a person’s life will eventually be sacrificed in that process.

Between here and there, quite a bit can happen.

It’s easy to romanticize the past since we’re not dealing with it in the present. But there are a lot of things that I have a fondness for which can no longer be easily found. I like old movies and TV shows that online streaming companies don’t provide. I like unorthodox but rigorous thinking, unfortunately quite a few books get barred from sales these days. Even if I’m not very religious, I liked when religion was more widespread in society and provided some moral coloration to the arts that were produced. Even though I’ve benefited immensely from things like the internet, I miss the days when people were more integrated with their actual, physical environments rather than having their minds stretch across the world.

In years past, I didn’t know what I wanted or what I needed to do. But now, I think a good life would consist of appreciating the good things that have been in my life. Appreciating the good things, and doing what I can to honorably reach my journey’s end.

In terms of the other questions, I guess I am living the good life. Some elements could be optimized, but the soul of it is in-tact. I don’t know about locations. I haven’t had much control over that factor, but I prefer anywhere that has space to breathe.

A life along side my Goddess, Kali

Yeah man, I look forward to each day and forever more by her side :)

Well, I like California, boutta move there mid November i think, imma spend half the time in San Francisco, the other half in the woods some where not too far away

When i was younger and used to dream of becoming a boxer, i had a vision of having a home on mammoth lakes in California

I wanted to be isolated there with my future wife and kids with a bunch of white huskies lol i imagined building a nice home there too right by the lake. I wanted to have a gym there and fly out my sparring partners there to train

I’ve given boxing up years ago (long story), but i still would like to live there some day, but i dunno, i will see what life has planned for me, I’m pretty happy wherever that isn’t plagued by low vibes (densely populated cities ridden with crimes and stuff like that)…
