What makes a good life?
Details
We are daily fed an endless stream of messages, from many sources, shouting into our perception some version of a good life. “With this ‘widget’ you too can get an upgrade into all that you wanted life to be.” Conversely…”Without this ________ you will miss out on the life you desire.” Thus, the social phenomenon of FOMO, i.e Fear Of Missing Out. Faced with making choices amidst the ever-expanding horizon of options what are we to do? What set of criteria comes into play when deciphering between the boundless options we are presented with on a daily basis? How are we to decipher the wheat from the chaff, the good from the bogus?
