- Complete virtue
- Aristotle tells us that the most important factor in the
effort to achieve happiness is to have a good moral
character. One must act in accordance with virtue.
Nor is it enough to have a few virtues; rather one must
strive to possess all of them.

- Golden Mean
- “For Aristotle, friendship is one of the
most important virtues in achieving
the goal of happiness. While there
are different kinds of friendship, the
highest is one that is based on
virtue.” It should be good, alike in
virtues, it supersedes justice and
honor, give time to each other, share
friendship loves so it would be
greater than this because it can be
enjoyed as it is.

- Friendship
- The meaning is a mean between
two vices, and not simply a
balance between too much and
too little. “Relative to ourselves”
this stands for the perspective of
every different person. “Similarly
for the moral virtues.” Aristotle
suggests that some people are
born with weaker wills or
strengths than others.

- I do agree on some points he standed for. He said that happiness is a human purpose and it depends on ourselves, and
I completely think that’s right. We as a person can’t look for happiness in people, places, things, moments or in life,
but in US. Once we change our perspective of the way we see life (even if we are on a terrible situation) we will reach
happiness. He said happiness could only be achieved until the end of one's life, and I think that it is just by the way you
see it, depending on your situation you can face happiness at the end of your life or just at the middle of it.
