Summary

This quote highlights the distinction between mere existence and a fulfilling life. Physical survival is considered a basic necessity, but it is not enough to experience true happiness and fulfillment. The "good life" implies finding meaning and purpose by investing our emotions, values, and efforts into things that truly matter to us. It suggests that our priorities, passions, and relationships bring joy, contentment, and a sense of fulfillment, surpassing the mere act of surviving. By recognizing what we care about and actively pursuing it, we can live a richer, more meaningful life.
