In the story "Sen-jo and Her Soul Are Separated" by Zenkei Shibayama, we can appreciate the importance of making decisions based on your dreams and the separation of body and soul. Sen-jo, the girl who was forced to married a stranger but who had a secret lover, didn't use communication to tell truth about her feelings. His father, Chokan, selected a young man in order to get married with Sen-jo. Therefore, Sen-jo left home without giving an explanation to her parents. She was scared of the idea of being married with a stranger because she loves another man who is Ochu. Ochu and Sen-jo escaped from their hometown so they can live together as a couple. After five years of being far away from home , they decided to come back and apologized for what they have done. When Sen-jo arrives to her home, there was another Sen-jo who was sick in bed. Furthermore, the sick Sen-jo and Sen-jo become one.
The society that we see in our daily lives is based on achieving a good quality of life. Most of the people choose ...
The struggle between happiness and society shows a society where true happiness has been forfeited to form a perfect order.
Wellbeing was first discussed as authentic happiness by Seligman. In the concept of authentic happiness he discussed the components of positive emotions, meaning in life and engagement. He had described these components to be very much essential in bringing in authentic happiness which he called as wellbeing. It takes the shape of subjective wellbeing, when it becomes subjective to a person’s experience alone. The concrete aspects of health and wealth may stay away from this, when a person’s subjectivity is concerned (Kammann, 1983). Over the years as we see in other studies, this concept has changed to subjective wellbeing being defined on the basis of all the areas of life, wherein the objective factors of wealth and health, and

Good and bad people stand everywhere; it is not possible that human being creates a perfect society. We apply all philosophy, thinking, technology, all life benefits but still we cannot move perfect society, whatever we betterment. But there are different minds in words. We wish to move a perfect society if all peoples are angels.

There are many aspects of society that help shape who we become; such as, race, ethnicity, and status. Although, in the end, it is ultimately the choices we make that define us. As individuals we make certain choices, and as a society we label those individuals by their choices. One boy decided his achieved status would be of respect, while the other conceded to the fact that he could not do any better, with his life, than dealing. Someone once said “[We] are a product of our environment…” and to a certain extent this is completely agreeable. However, it can also be said that our environment is a product of society.
We are not necessarily meant to live a comfortable lifestyle. Such a life would chock the freedom's that make hero's out of men.
When talking about health, if people is able to visualize what is good (healthy) and what is bad for health, they will choose the option that does not harm them.
In conclusion, humankind is blessed with life as God created it. One must reflect on their actions throughout life because one will be judged by God in the next life, one must see the importance of gasping liberation, and one must have a loving and open heart when helping the poor. Life should be lived to its fullest because once time is lost, it cannot be regained; life needs to be appreciated.
The essay “Homeward Bound” By Janet Wu reminds us that we can have feelings towards people who we are so different from us, also it shows us the importance of having this kind of relationship no matter the contrast. Wu talks about her and her grandmother. Her father was separated from his family in the 20th century, which made him move to the US. But her father has tried to contact his family for 30 years, until he came to know that his mother and brother were alive, so the first thing he did was to gather his family and go to China. When Wu first met her grandmother, they both had feelings towards each other, Wu says “And yet we communicated something strange and beautiful. I found it easy
People continually look at what they perceive their life as lacking rather than appreciate what they do have in their life. People often fail to take into consideration when viewing another’s life the challenges, struggles, and negative aspects the person had to face to achieve their status. The only time it is appropriate for people to focus on the negative in their life is in order for positive change to take place. This will enable them to be able to learn and grow as a person from it. If people would focus more on the positive points in their life they may find that their life more satisfying.
We might not have the same opinions, paths, and ways of living; but we all, millions of people around the world, share the same purpose of life: Being able to say “I am having a good life!” What we mean by “good life” is living in pure happiness and having a wonderful peace of mind. The difference between us is that each one of us chooses a different way in his pursuit of happiness. Some find it in stability with a big house, a family, and a good paying job. Some find it in adventure and wildness, travel, and taking risks. While others don’t really have specific criteria or an organized plan, they just believe that happiness comes with living each day as if it was the last, with no worries about the rest. Personally, I find it in trying to be the best version of myself, in staying true to my principles, and in the same time in being able to make my own decisions; which reminds me of what George Loewenstein said “Just because we figure out that X makes people happy and they're choosing Y, we don't want to impose X on them.”

This is the acknowledgment that quality of life/well-being has both objective components which are the components external to an individual and measurable by ‘others’ and subjective components which are personal assessments of one’s own life or of particular aspects of life using measures of satisfaction, happiness, or other self-assessment scales.
In my paper I will clarify the seven measurements of wellbeing and how we require every one and how they identify with us. These measurements are: Social Wellness, Emotional Wellness, Spiritual Wellness, Environmental Wellness, Occupational Wellness, Intellectual Wellness and Physical Wellness. Every one of the measurements of health have critical impact in our day by day living with how we converse with individuals, to how we think rationally. My paper will have the capacity to clarify measurements of wellbeing altogether.
