A "good life" as the target of PQ PQ

PQ seems to us to the usual * Q as IQ, EQ etc. at least a useful addition. Situations where a PQ, a philosophical attitude can be helpful seem to afford the time. But what is the benefit of a PQ?

Another Q in the ranks of existing is not a benefit, but can at best be an occasion to reflect on the usefulness. The claim that there are many situations in which PQ is useful to show the benefits not yet measured directly, but said it only. Not for anything else however, it was before. We just wanted to first provide a little context for PQ. This blog's a diary of our own approach to PQ. In this respect, we do not go straight towards a clear goal, but rather tortuous path in a fog inside. And as we come now to the question: What PQ is to bring in practice? Where to help PQ?

Our answer, in brief: PQ is to help a "good life" to have.

Sounds simple, sounds like a commonplace. A "good life" but all sorts of "practices" to the target. Also, IQ and EQ and SQ do, more or less explicitly help to lead a good life, right?

Sure, so far the PQ ranks first in only one long series of offers. Unlike many other offers we can hold on for ever but PQ: PQ is not alone bring salvation. With PQ alone, a "good life" can not be achieved. This includes everything. For us, PQ Thus a complementary offer to others - which we think, however, that it is just not achievable without PQ as well, the "good life".

And what may But our view a "good life" look like? We think it through at least the following aspects:

• joy
• robustness
• openness

In a "good" life, the positive, the joyful moments prevail. Laughter, recognition, security, sense of fullness, freedom, development and safety are our aspects of joy. A more precise definition of joy to us does not seem important, as long as we pathological forms of enjoyment (eg enjoyment of Injury leave of others) on the outside, seems a consensus more about what is part of the joy of culturally evident. Everyone will feel competent to distinguish a joyful situation from a non-joyous.

joy is certainly the center of a "good life". But joy is just very volatile. A "good life" For us, therefore, a certain robustness. Without joy, it can be dull quickly. Self-confidence and serenity are aspects of such robustness or stability, protect the joyful personality against the adversities of life.

joy therefore needs help to preserve it. Keep positive but may turn into negative bricking. Robustness needs therefore a drag. We believe that openness should be the opposing force. Openness makes the ramparts against the adversities of life permeable. A "good life" requires goodwill to make the smile does not freeze. Who in the world does not challenge openly and sympathetically, the entrenched behind its robustness.

Conversely, someone, openness and good will is not robust opposes such a leaf in the wind. Who will openness on stability, misses out on the development of a contoured personality. Conversely, head to the concrete personality, who represents stability of openness.

A "good life" has as its core, the joy, therefore, requires a balance between robustness and openness.


We now think that PQ can help, no, absolutely necessary to such an extent defined "good life" to live forever in our time and our culture.
