data from everyday experiences to do politics

happiness. Children cant be happy? You can be a balanced indv after having
a lot of life experiences. Ethics=balanced indv (life experiences required)

world for a purpose.
Moral purposes to which things are geared = ethics

in terms of virtue.
The end of our lives – happiness or the word above
Aristotle introduces the moral luck- if u have it your lucky distinguished the
life of 2 good people. You can’t control luck, having a good life entails having
factors beyond you, you limit the restrictions of outer forces. If lucky – its
nothing you control. Part of having a good life is luck. You need the good
upbringing is part of the luck you have no control over, you just need to
accept it. No one can called happy if they have misfortunes- it’s an activity
of your life. (Plato- only the just person can be happy)
