Concept Notes:

We are temporal beings or “beings towards death”.

How does reality of Death define our lives?

• Death is commonly understood as the end of bodily functions which signals the end of a person’s
life.
• It also refers to the separation of the body and the spirit.

How should I live my life before it finally ends?

• It has been discussed previously that the essence of freedom is self-determination.

• Self-determination is the capacity to choose and act for oneself.
• While there is no freedom in the inevitability of death, a person can still exercise freedom in
choosing how to face the reality of death in their lives.

For example:
A person cannot stop himself from growing old. However, he or she can choose to embrace aging
gracefully. You may have seen older people who take pride in their gray hairs, wrinkles, and the fact that
they have grandchildren. Other people, however, take a different path and use any means to mask their
physical aging such as getting cosmetic surgery or availing of “age-defying treatments.

Concept Notes:

What makes you happy? How do I define true happiness?

• As we understand ourselves better, we also come to realize that HAPPINESS is a state of being not
merely emotional experience or a chosen mental attitude.
• We do not really choose happiness because we all have tendency towards it, but what we choose
the means to achieve it.

Sources of Happiness

Noble good
• is one pursued for its own sake; it is good in itself. Example: Love and friendship.

Useful good

• is considered good as it serves as a means to an end; its goodness is found only from what it can
provide. For example: Money is good as it can buy you something.

Pleasurable good

• is a good as long as it provides some form of pleasure, though it does not have to be physical.

It must be understood that a specific good cannot be categorized strictly under one kind. For example,
friendship may be a noble good because it is good to be a friend to someone. However, pursuing it with
incorrect intentions ( e.g., befriending someone for academic or career advancement) makes it only a useful
good.

Activity 1

1. What kind of goods have you been pursuing lately? How does it contribute to your well-being and
happiness?
2. What do you think brings about real happiness? What things in your life make you truly happy?
