Enlightened

The other day, someone asked me,"What do you think is a 'good life'?"
I thought for a long time and all I could come up with was "Can you be more specific?"

I had a lot of things in mind which I thought defined a 'good life' for me. I just did not know where to start.

Now I sit here and recall the experience of sitting on an isolated beach late last night. Running sand through my fingers, all I could hear were the crashing waves and the sound of the breeze. What did I have ? Nothing. What more did I want? Nothing.

The less I want, the more I have. This might not be the answer but I think I finally understood the question.
