Yоu hаve spent the semester wоrking оn your Philosophicаl Apology. The core component of your philosophicаl apology was what you think the good life is and why. In 1-2 paragraph, write out your basic view of the good life in a way that a 10 year old could understand. You want to still grasp the major points but simplify it in such a way as to help the child get a grasp of it. This might involve an illustration, an object lesson, or a story. (Further, you could imagine that what you are doing is telling 10 year old you what vision you have now in a way the kid would understand.) Remember this is about what YOU think the good life for yourself should look like, not some abstract philosophical idea of it.
