A life well lived. Isn't that what we are all hoping for? With our dying breath, each of us will look over our lives and wonder, did we do it? Did we achieve that singular goal of living a life well lived?
In order to judge, we must examine the goal. What is a life well lived?
A life well lived is not a life where we attained all that we dreamed.
It is not living a comfortable life.
It is not living a life of loving and being loved.
A life well lived does not always end happily, in fact it rarely ever will.
Living a life well lived is watching everything you love, everything you dream fall to pieces, but looking back at the end and saying the words that bring hurt and comfort all at once-
'At least it happened.'
