On Saturday 20th April 2019, New Acropolis (Khar Branch) hosted a talk titled “Don’t just Survive. Live!” The speaker explored the concept of a “meaningful life”, beyond mere survival, from a philosophical perspective with an investigation of Confucius’ teachings on Harmony and the Stoic understanding of Happiness. Living was likened to a flowing river, in constant movement, full of vitality, changing and abundant; such a life presents countless challenges to overcome. Such is the adventurous life of a hero who dares to transcend his comfort zone to encounter the unknown.
