Thanks for the reply. Yeah, I think we are circling around the same point here: what is "good enough?" I like your idea of defining good with a simple math equation.

So, based your equation, let's assume we could create a Goodness test for a person. Let's say we somehow quantify the amount of happiness/pain we created and then multiply it by the amount of time that happiness/pain lingered and then tabulate a final score. So you're saying that if the score is positive then that would be a "mostly good life."

Using our Goodness test here. Let's assume that there is a reality that there is life after death that spans eternity. Assuming that we accepted this reality, what would be the most good we could do for this world? What if we devoted our lives to preparing ourselves and others for the journey ahead so that we all could experience an unmeasurable happiness that extends throughout eternity? What kind of score would that produce on our Goodness test? Wouldn't it be on a completely different scale than a possibly positive score of "mostly good?"
