Subjective well-being

We all have many perspectives on life. Well-being, i.e. how a Jubelite (JCC church member) evaluates life, is mostly in the head.

Things like life-satisfaction, marital-satisfaction, even missionary-satisfaction are related to pleasant experiences, or unpleasant experiences.

Mrs. Obregon and I have found that a cardinal characteristic of subjective well-being is related to the friends we fellowship with in our ecosystem.

It's true. Take the closely related class of humans above: all 3 are Great Commission Christians, and all 3 have followed Christ to the mission frontier.

My hypothesis is that our subjective well-being is generally very good because our ecosystem is teeming with life and with like-minded Christians; caramba!
