For thousands of years, philosophers, theologians, and other deep thinkers, have asked the question, “What is the good life?” Until recently, the majority answered the question in moral terms. They may have disagreed on the details, but all agreed that the good life involved shunning certain vices and seeking certain virtues, which may or may not have had their basis in a divine being.
