The document discusses finding and attaining a "good life" and true happiness. It tells a story of a missionary who told a tribal youth he should work to support his family, but the youth replied that nature already provides for their needs. The document then questions whether we were really happy to begin with and says we should ask each other what kind of life we want and what it truly takes to be happy, as happiness may mean different things to different people. It raises issues about the feasibility and costs of attaining the lives we desire.
