The idea of the "good life" is a core idea of philosophy, often described with a single Greek word, eudaimonia (there's your new word for the day, most likely). It simply means aiming for the highest human good - the good life, in other words.
Those pictures, and the others that were shared, all point to rather different day to day lives, even though they all have a few things in common. Rather than rattle on a lot about what elements would make up my idea of the good life, I was actually more interested in what elements are commonly found in the ideas of the good life that lots of people shared with me, so I thought about those stories and asked a few others what they thought the "good life" was.
