Aristotle's concept of eudaimonia, often mistranslated as happiness, signifies human flourishing through practiced virtue and reflection, not fleeting pleasure. The philosopher argues that modern life's pursuit of Instagram-worthy moments and material possessions distracts from this ideal. He emphasized that a good life is cultivated through consistent practice of virtue, actualizing one's potential as a rational, social being, rather than being a destination to be reached or a product to be consumed.
