Quote: "All these factors, to be sure, figure in Solon's reckoning, but it is the end-- death-- that gives them meaning, ensuring in its finality that one's good fortune, one's blessedness, can no longer be taken away." (DM 6)
Question: We might believe that we are on the correct path to happiness but then something happens to us (say, due to luck or good fortune) that makes us rethink our own idea of happiness. So how can we know what is truly good for us? How can we know that our search for happiness isn't "leading us astray"? - p. 12 & 15, DM
