WHAT’S NEW?
Activity 1. RELAX AND REFLECT
Go to a quiet place, sit back and recall what has happened in your life. What moments brought
you joy, what moments brought you sadness? List those moments below and make a reflection on
how it shaped you into who you are today.
What is it?
Nothing lasts forever (walang forever). The cycle of being born, growing up and growing old
and dying is a reality. We have limited time here on earth and whether we like it or not, we are
bound to die. Death is real. It is a part of our being. Death is commonly understood as the end of
bodily functions. It also refers to the separation of body and spirit. Everything that exists in this
universe comes to an end and we humans are not exempted. The acceptance of being a
temporary individual in this world gives us a clearer vision on how to live life to the fullest and
understand the meaning of our existence. We have the freedom to choose a well-lived life; doing
good and doing what is right.
What makes us happy? Happiness is a state of being (over all physical condition of a
person), not just only an emotion or a decision. We do not choose happiness because we feel it,
we do not choose happiness because we need it but happiness is the totality of who we are as
human beings. Aside from that, we must consider also the goods and sources of our happiness.
Kinds of Good
1. Noble good is one which is pursued for its own sake, example is love and friendship.
2. Useful good is found only from what it can provide, example is money and a
3. Pleasurable good is good so long as it provides pleasure. Whatever the source of our
happiness right now, let us see to it that it is real and meaningful.
