Reading about the thoughts of philosophers on the subject of "The Meaning of Life" has really made me think. It makes me wonder if there really is a meaning to life. In our textbook, happiness is one of the possibilities to the meaning of life. With this being said, do the happiest people live the fullest lives?

I believe that happy people do live fuller lives. The happier you are, the more you love the life that you live. Elias said, "The happiest people spend the least time alone. They pursue personal growth and intimacy; they judge themselves by their own yardsticks, never against what others do or have."
