The Drama of Human Life

​Woody Allen

• Faith provides the answer to life's questions​

• ​People can deny God's existence or your faith; they can't deny your happiness

Individualism​

Hedonism

​Minimalism

​Relativism

​

​What was the thesis of "The Search?"

• ​God is the Author of our lives

• ​A story is an ordered sequence of events, with beginning, middle, and an end where the protagonist purses a goal after progressive complications

Good - something that brings to perfection one of our human capabilities​

​St. Augustine, Confessions I.1

If there were not some overarching good, ​an Ultimate Good, we would have no reason to pursue any good whatsoever

-Virtue​

Every human action that we perform, no matter how small, can be an act of virtue, and thus be an important part of our ever-deeper experience of happiness.
