Inquiry #1 How should one live?
At first thinking about the question, “How should one live?” is a very overwhelming task. But when you really think about it, it is at the very being of our existence. When posing this question to my roommates, they felt that one should live in way that one could be proud of themselves. However, that answered my question with another question. What would make you proud of the way in which you live your life? Is it society’s standards or is it some other set of ideals that are important to your own life. Another answer I came across is that you should live your life in way that makes you happy as long as it does not infringe on another person’s happiness. This is an interesting thought. One should always strive for happiness, but what determines where the line is drawn on affecting others? All the answers I have found seem to lead to further questions, which makes me come to the conclusion that there is no real answer to this question but only more questions.
