Quality of Life: A Spiritual Point of View

Quality of life is something of a mental value, on which one would be the most qualified judge. This is often expressed in terms of satisfaction, welfare, comfort or happiness. Scholars and writers have been studying and looking at quality of life from different angles such as health, longevity, wealth, jobs, family relations, and so on. But the way I have been looking at is quite different from those mentioned above. Most of us have often witnessed certain people with similar living standards. While some of them have happy life, the others are gloomy and depressed or while we find some people who, despite having a simple life, feel quite happy, there are some wealthy people who are not satisfied with their life. We can therefore conclude that quality of life is something of a mental nature or an inner sense.
