What is good?

There is a really good reason why the word good is so popular in our world, it is exceptionally vague in meaning and can be interpreted in as many ways as there are stars in the sky. when we are asked how our day was we say “good”, when we are asked how we enjoy our meal we say “it’s good”, when we fall down a flight of stairs and come out unscathed we say “I’m good”. Good can mean anything and it’s true meaning is only revealed by the context of it’s use. So when we are forced to ask what is the good life, we are forced to evaluate what it is we want out of life. There are billions of people and hundreds of thousands of organizations that give a quick and simple answer to what it means to live a good life, but when it comes down to the bare bones of what the good life is,  the fact of what is a meaningful and fulfilling life is, is established and judged by the person who lives their life. We only answer to ourselves and our God above on weather our lives are meaningful and what it constitutes a good life, accepting responsibility for the choices we make and reaping the rewards that come.
