Session # 31
Report Written by: Zainab Salman

Today was the 31^st Session of the Thinker’s Club. Our topic today was: “What is a good life?”

First, everyone wrote their answers to the question. We came up with the following points, and listed them on the board:

• A good life should have an aim and a meaning.
•  A good life is when your parents are pleased and satisfied with you.
• A good life is, when you are self aware and God conscious.
•  A good life is, when you work for a good education.
•  A good life should lead to a better life in the hereafter.
•  A good life should be focused on to achieve its goals.

We discussed each of the points, briefly, to understand their meaning. Then, we wrote on the topic: “Why is my life a good life and what do I need to make my life good?

We came up with lots of points and shared them with each other. Then we picked the point “Make your parents happy with you” and we all listed ways to make our parents happy.

Here are some of the points:

• Do as they say and follow them.
• Help them in their work and chores.
• Make a card or write a letter for them when they are sad or angry with you.
• Give them water when they ask for it.
•  Help them tidy the house.

We ended the session by discussing the points we had listed. This session was meaningful, as we uncovered our perceptions of a good life.
