We have tweaked life to our own reading, and have redefined the 'S.I Unit' of what can be termed a good life and how to get it.

The wealthiest man in history says at the end of His life: "So I hated life, because the work that is done under the sun was grievous to me. All of it is meaningless, a chasing after the wind"- Ecclesiastes 2: 17

There is a life however God has given us that can be enjoyed irrespective of where we are and any circumstance:

'Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day' - 2 Corinthians 4: 6

Hear this too: 'Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have the Son of God does not have life.

 I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God so that you may know that you have eternal life- 1 John 5:12-13
