'what gives us life?'

'What gives us life?  And what takes it away?  Those are most basic questions for how anyone would live.
 
What’s a desirable life look like for you (you plural and you individual)?  That’s a quality question.  Some talk about a good life, a meaningful life, a purposeful life, a you-name-the-desirable-quality life:  happy, productive, useful, enjoyable, honorable, faithful, beautiful, you-name-it.'
