All the good things in life are either illegal, fattening or immoral.. On the other hand, all the good things in life are free, – like the view. The bad things are a bit more expensive. AND: The good things in life are what keeps you going. The best things in life are unexpected - because there were no expectations. What is meant by "the good things"? Well, they build you up in body and/or in your spirit. They make you smile or make others smile. If you can get someone else to laugh, you have put a good thing into their life. What can be better than joyful laughter?
