What makes a good life?
A perfect life. It is what all humans have wished for. However, what is a perfect life? Do all people agree on a specific perfect life? Or are there different opinions? That was the topic that Robert Waldinger presented on his Ted Talk. He has shared his experiment, that was tested. Which was tracking people’s life from being teenagers to their old ages. This study was experimented on more than 2000 young adults. Based on that experiment, they have identified the meaning behind the perfect life. As there are lots of different opinions, it has been proven that the idea of a perfect life from 80% of young adults is being rich. While 50% of those same young adults, their perfect life is being famous. Yet, these opinions were no way near the real meaning behind a perfect and healthy
life. We have gone away from the answer we want to know about a perfect life. Well, it is very simple. Just look around. Those people who surround you with love are the only definition of a perfect life. The people of our surrounding are the real meaning behind the perfect life. They don't have to be family, they can be friends, partners,
coworkers, etc.
We, as humans, have always looked around us and thought about how many people love me? How many friends do I have? We also look at others and see that they have loads of friends, and then we begin to feel lonely and unwanted. However something that no one thought about is what if these friends were fake? We have always looked at how perfect others’ lives are, yet we never noticed our own. When you leave all the negativity in your life and the people who surround you, the perfect life is right around you. Which was the main message in the video. “Good relationships keep us happier and healthier.” As Robert Waldinger proved and supported his point by saying, “It turns out that people who are more socially connected to family, to friends, to community, are happier, they’re physically healthier, and they live longer than people who are less well connected. And the experience of loneliness turns out to be toxic. People who are more isolated than they want to be from others find that they are less happy, their health declines earlier in midlife, their brain functioning declines sooner and they live shorter lives than people who are not lonely.” Therefore, maintaining your social life is very helpful and useful for your body. That also means that isolating yourself breaks and destroys your life. It is very easy to keep yourself healthy by never forgetting the people that surround you, so love and appreciate your life and community.
