Answer: A good life is a gratifying and fulfilling existence that might be defined as one that is
self-satisfied. Personal satisfaction, contentment, and enjoyment of life's minor pleasures
describe it. Things in this world, according to Plato, are not real and are simply copies of the
real in the world of forms. Change is so perplexing that it can only be understood if there are
two realities: the world of forms and the world of matter. Things in this world are
permanent. Having a good life is a blessing. That is the reason why we need to be happy
every day, no matter what happens, because being happy can make our life good.

2. What is the relationship between the good life and science?

Answer:The relationship between the good life and science is related. It is science that
provides a decent life for everyone, and it is science that feeds the quest for a good life.
Science has made many people's lives easier in this wide world where the number of
inventions is continually increasing.

3. Does technology always lead us to the good life? Support your answer.
Answer: For me, technology can lead us to a good life if we know how to handle or use
technology in a good way, not in a negative way. One of the benefits of technology in
leading a happy life is that it can make our jobs easier and allow us to investigate anything
if we have a difficult question.
