2) Why do you think evil exists in the world?
3) Aristotle said "True happiness takes a long life". Do you agree?
4) Do you believe it is possible for more than one religion or ideology to be correct?
5) Is happiness measurable? Quantifiable?
6) Is there a specific argument that you particularly agree or disagree with the existence of God?


Today we had a really interesting conversation about happiness in general as a term and the way we would define it personally. The perception of happiness for each individual was unique in some ways and there were some things that we agreed on as a group.
Also we had a really interesting conversation about the existence of the evil in the world. We somehow connected the existence of evil with happiness. In other words, if we don't experience pain do we know or appreciate when we are happy? Everyone has different standards about the levels of pain or happiness...well, that's what makes everyone unique.
