The first life is the pleasant life, and it's simply, as best we can find it, it's having as many of the pleasures as you can, as much positive emotion as you can, and learning the skills -- savoring, mindfulness -- that amplify them, that stretch them over time and space.
Prvi je ugodan život i on, koliko o njemu znamo, znači uživati što je moguće više, sa što je moguće više pozitivnih emocija, i učiti se vještinama -- ukusu, svjesnosti -- koje ih osnažuju, koje ih produljuju u prostoru i vremenu.
