Quality

Quality is a concept that is hard to grasp. It can be easily defined when in relation to an object, but when it is about quality in life it becomes difficult to have a clear-cut definition of quality. As pirsig says in Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance, “ Quality is not a thing. It is an event.†(215) Therefore, quality is not a matter of te objective or the subjective, but is about the relationship between the two.
It is not possible to measure quality in life in an objective manner. The main reason for this is because objectivity is a matter of preference or taste. If it was quality of an object then it would be easy to measure it objectively through tests and surveys. On the contrary, to measure quality in life is impossible because it depends on opinions which will forever be different. On the contrary, if this was possible then that would mean that everyone has the same preference and everyone would have to agree on what quality is. But since this is not possible in the real world, there is no way to measure quality objectively in life.

She constantly complains about but does not do anything to make it better either. This causes her to be miserable with everyone because she is not happy with herself. The person also needs to experience life in its good and bad. Without doing this, one cannot learn the difference between the two and neither can learn from it and mature with it. In my own case, I don’t feel that I have adequately experienced life for what it is. Due to this, I feel that I have not grown as a person. Since I don’t even know what is out there, it is hard for me to decide what is good or bad. Also, it causes me to be naïve about things because I don’t know any better. A life cannot be of quality if it does not serve any good for the community. It is not enough that a person is happy and successful. One needs to give back to the community in order to be truly successful. Giving back to the community can be in any form, volunteering or even participating in politics. One should be involved in these activities and use it to help others and
