However, when looked at in the context of mankind - rather than man in the singular - the "good life" would encompass the well-being of future generations. Does modern technology and increased standard of living provide for similar (or better) lifestyles for future generations? It is hard to say, because we don't know as of yet how societal actions will affect our planet. Actually, what the "good life" means to me is the obtainment of joy, happiness and balance between body/mind/soul and the essential needs of man - without harming anyone else intentionally. There is not necessarily a singular way for achieving this. It is only a principle. A good life is hard to define, I agree.

To live a good life - I love the notion - but the "reality" is that different peoples, cultures, etc. have quite different notions of what this means. The American Puritan tradition of the "Simple Life," return to the earth, balance, etc. is being radically affected/shaped by new technologies and their implications. As a teacher, I try to "inspire the future" of my students: how to do this well? Check my “Meaningful Life” on this site.

But, with this selfishness, we have lost more than we have gained. For example, because selfishness has become a cultural norm, true community has lost its flavor. Those experiences of ardor in simple pleasure have dissipated to only remote memories of early childhood. Those ideas of society's future greatness has been replaced with myopic mindsets for gain in the moment. But all these problems aside - there is still hope for mankind. We can still achieve happiness and care less for monetary returns, new technology, or insensible-causing activities (like television, drugs, etc.). How? If you know how you want the world to look - live it first. Others will follow in example; after all, we are "social animals." This is the first step. As a society we need a balance between pleasure, work, mind, creativity, relationships, spiritual experience, and true knowledge. The more we open our minds up to what the world has to offer and discontinue or selfish motives, we will better suited for the future, and perhaps even better off in the moment. I find these statements axiomatic, but if anyone is not convinced and want more clarity or evidence, let me know!
