What constitues the good life?



In the search of 'the good life' or a higher moral way of living your life, Aristotle chose the route of 'Virtue ethics' and came up with four 'cardinal virtues':
  1. Temperance - moderation in all we do
  2. Justice - Being fair and reasonable
  3. Courage - Being able to act in the face of fear
  4. Prudence - acting with and showing care for the future
Now to me, that list of four 'cardinal virtues' is not only something I could stick to, but also something worth putting in to practice daily.
