Many people understand “a good life” as an easy life, with no obstacles that make it more complex to achieve your goals. However, is the adjective “good” properly used in this context?
From my point of view, having a comfortable life is not always advantageous. Owning less things makes you appreciate what you have more, whereas, if you receive everything you ask for, you don’t value anything. In addition, I think dreaming is essential, and a person who has everything can no longer dream. Imagine a boy with a medium-class mobile phone. He will be dreaming of having a better one. However, a boy with an iPhone will have no aims (in regards to this issue), as he has the best smartphone possible. In other words, improvements are possible unless you are or you have the best.
To sum up, I would say that “a good life” is beneficial up to a point, in which you are satisfied with your situation but you still have further goals. You will be likely to be happy if you do not have “such a good life”.
