Was thinking about what a well lived life looks like? After some tinkering with Claude I was able to kind of formulate my points. But before I get to the meat, the answer to this question is surprisingly way less subjective than what people assume. Will share my reasoning below

People don't give enough credit to @AltCarbonIndia's magazine design aesthetics, so here's me doing my part.

I think one of the signs of leading a great life is whether you're waking up to alarms every day. If yes, then it's probably a sign that something major needs to change in your life.

Ideally, one should not be doing things they don't want to do for a prolonged period of time.

Such a great civilisations was burned to ashes by humanity itself. It hits very hard to digest these hard facts about history. The more I study history, the more I realise how fortunate we are being born in modern world so less wars (at least in most part of the world)

It feels so melancholic to me that some of the greatest civilisations in history have been burned down so horribly that we have hardly anything left of them to study. Empires that once stood with glory, amassed hundreds of thousands of people, just vanished from history.

Rome then destroyed Carthage for the next 5 years so it could never rise again. A city that was once one of the richest in the world had no evidence left that it ever existed. And Scipio, the man who ordered all of it, stood watching Carthage burn and wept, quoting Homer.

I think Carthage is a great reminder that civilization and brutality are not opposites. Sometimes the more organized a society gets, the more efficiently it can do terrible things. T

Child sacrifice was very common in history and sometimes very brutal and unethical as well. For example take the city of Carthage (around 300 BC). In Carthage, child sacrifice was the main ritual. And practiced by the most powerful people in the city.

More than brutality of the whole incident what hits me hard how structured was the whole thing. It was not performed in shadows. It was structured, standard process. People who mastered sea, amassed so much of gold, masters of art had such rituals in place. History is so vivid
