Question: What core values do you find in the phrase, “Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness?” and how is it different from the phrase, “Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Meaning?”
Refer to the article and make some connections and references to what the author is saying
As you answer the above question, keep the following questions in mind, and explain them in the course of writing your three paragraphs:
a. What does our post-modern society tell us about how to achieve happiness?
b. In what ways have more choices and more personal freedom to choose contributed to a sense that “enough” is a “moving target?”
c. What did the ancient Greeks mean by “living the good life?” What do they mean by “evdomonia?”
d. What does the writer mean by “authentic dialogue?” (See paragraph 10)
e. Explain what Dr. Frankl means when he implies that happiness cannot be pursued, but rather, “it must ensue and it only does so as the unintended side-effect of one’s dedication to a cause greater than oneself or as the by-product of one’s surrender to a person other than oneself.”
f. What is the difference between hedonistic happiness, and happiness that is the result of our pursuit of meaning?
