Hello all...
I hope you're all well. This is my first blog posting, so do bear with me.
Where do I begin? Well, the philosophy classes have been really great.
There is so much that I take away with me and lots to think about
My primary thoughts have been focused on what it means to "live a good life"
It's quite an interesting question and no doubt, there are so many answers
I refer to Marcus Aurelius (Roman Emperor and philosopher) and his writings.
Marcus continually points to living in the present and living in harmony
with nature
For me, they are the two most important aspects to living a good life.
I also include self-awareness through self-examination as an important part
to leading a fulfilling life.
Only by knowing ones-self are you able to know others and how to relate
with them.
I also point out the distinction between self-examination and self-absortion
where the latter referes to looking inwards only
Anyway, I have only just scratched the surface and I welcome other thoughts
on this question
Many thanks and regards
Marcello

Hi Marcello!
Those are some good thoughts on what it means to live a good life.
You make a good point about knowing yourself and examining yourself. It's hard to cultivate and improve if we we're not aware!
Cheers on your first post!
