 DEATH

 Is the end of bodily functions which signals the end of the body and the
soul.
 10.The human person is an embodied spirit or the unity of a body and
a spirit. 2.The body grows and dies, while the soul continues to exist
even after the body has passed.
 While there is no freedom in the inevitability of death, 1.we have the
freedom to live or lives well or not. Temporality challenges us to make
choices that will be good for us and the people around us. Although
9.we are oriented towards our death, death is not the goal of life. The
challenge is to live a meaningful life.
 HAPPINES
S a state of being, not just an emotional experience or a chosen
 3.Is
attitude. 4.We do not choose happiness; we choose the means to
achieve it.
 A good is a source of happiness and it has 11-13three kinds;
• Noble good – is one which is pursued for its own sake; it is good in
itself.
• Useful good – is considered good so long as it serves as a means to
an end; its goodness is found only from what it can provide.
• Pleasurable good – is good so long as it provides some form of
pleasure, though it doesn’t have to be physical.
 The kind of happiness that can be gained from a good
is also closely tied to its nature. 8.Real happiness can
be found in more permanent and meaningful things.
 5.Suffering takes place when we patiently endure
unpleasantness, discomfort and pain. It can be
experience physically ( we experience physical
sensations such as discomfort, hunger, distress and
pain) or mentally ( involves emotional and mental
state such as depression, anxiety, fear, loneliness and
grief.)
• Suffering is generally viewed as an undesirable condition, and that we
naturally seek pleasure and avoid pain. Another view states that 6.
suffering is necessary in shaping our existence because without it we
are unable to grow and our positive experiences lose meaning and
significance.
• 5.As we approach our death, we experience both happiness and
suffering. The two are not really meant to be polar opposites, for they
can also enrich one another.
• As inter subjective beings who have a tendency to form bonds with
others, it is natural that the meaning of life be found when we open
ourselves to others. This means that although we will eventually die, 7.
we have an opportunity to enrich our lives as well as the lives of others.
