Someone rightly said that the quality life is a relative
term depending upon the socio-cultural and religious background, personal
preference and philosophy life. For a group of people, religious values and
practice may be the priority and some other may prefer creative development.
Similarly, some may like to have modern innovation bonded with traditional
values and culture as an attainment of quality life.
The degree of satisfaction and happiness that one can fulfil
through his/her basic and other needs is known as quality of life.
Quality of
life is accepted as being happy and resourceful life. Similarly, it may be a
sense of being pleased with what one has or what one gets. If one gets
satisfied with his various physical
various physical, psychological, emotional and spiritual needs, it may be a
state of attaining quality life. Although satisfaction or happiness has been
considered as the core element in acquiring quality life, however, it should
not be taken as a short state of happiness; rather it should be along term
state of happiness. This completeness in life is the best expression of quality
of life.
So the
quality life refers to the life style with full of happiness and satisfaction
that fulfils sociocultural, psychological and emotional needs including
survival needs.
Therefore,
quality life is a complex phenomenon including basic physical, social, cultural
and other needs.

similarly social, cultural and other needs include education, health services,
security, transportation and communication, entertainment, freedom, etc. these
needs, when fulfilled properly and adequately, result in a state of fulfilment for
human beings. The fulfilment will bring happiness, satisfaction, peace and
harmony in the society. This is said to be the attainment of quality life.
