The Good Life

A large part of Junior Traditio can be summed up in this one question: What is the good life? In other words, what is a fulfilled, productive, meaningful life? When is a human at his best? Plato, Cicero, Homer, etc., all answered in different ways.
I've known the biblical answer for probably most, if not all, of my life. However while reading the Bible before bed last night, I stumbled on what I think is the succinct answer possible. Just 7 little words:
"Trust in the LORD, and do good." Psalm 37:3.

The rest of the verse is also pretty amazing:

"Dwell in the land, and feed on His faithfulness.
Delight yourself also in the LORD,
And He shall give you the desires of your heart."
There you have it folks. The answer to the universe is not 42, but "Trust in the LORD, do good."
