- 15972: The Good Life(comparison Of Ka
- The Good Life Occasionally I get bummed out and begin asking, "What's the purpose to life?" I ask this because I see that most people live without purpose, without caring about others or about any cause. For me, that life is not worth living. A world that ... without some higher purpose.
