Begin to formulate your own response to our Happiness and Meaning project essential questions, because education is life and life is education as Krishnamurti explains in Think on these Things: "...is it the function of education to prepare us while we are young to understand the whole process of life? Having a job and earning one's livelihood is necessary, but is that all? Are we being educated only for that? Surely, life is not merely a job, an occupation; life is something extraordinarily wide and profound, it is a great mystery, a vast realm in which we function as human beings. If we merely prepare ourselves to earn a livelihood, we shall miss the whole point of life; and to understand life is much more important than merely to prepare for examinations..." (Krishnamurti 2). Agenda 1. Read and discuss "The Function of Education" by Krishnamurti

2. Review the Essay Question: "I don't know why we are here, but I'm pretty sure that it is not in order to enjoy ourselves." - Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889-1951) Does happiness really just mean living a pleasant life where your primary goal is to enjoy yourself? Is the pleasant life really the ultimate goal and the true sign of a purposeful, well-lived life? What about good health, wisdom, meaning in life, spirituality, creativity, authenticity, individuality, giving back to community, ambition, success, leaving a legacy beyond your time in a place or in a lifetime, etc.? Select one factor (not necessarily from the list above) that you see as a marker of a well-lived life. Use evidence from at least one piece of fiction that we’ve read and one piece of nonfiction to back up your claims. See the list of fiction and nonfiction sources we’ve covered in this project.
