I am devoting a blog per day to each of the five levels of aspirations. Today all 33 of the current aspirations at level four are defined. These people are well above average, about one in ten people, but not spectacularly successful like those above one in a thousand. My example of that level is Ben Franklin.

+4 – Well-adapted people’s problems and coping methods are listed and observed with this Human Aspirations Scale.

1 +4 Happy – A well-adapted person is happy with worthy goals and the resources to pursue them.

2 +4 Health – Good health is typical of a well-adapted person when their systolic blood pressure is between 130 and 110 or between 100 and 90.

3 +4 Wise – A well-adapted person can see the present problems, think prudently and choose desirable methods for coping with those situations, and do a consistently good job of solving them.

4 +4 Wealth – A fully responsible person can handle money and social transactions effectively as measured by FICO scores between 800 and 820,

5 +4 Living – Well-adapted people display enthusiasm for using their powers to accomplish the commonly held positive group goals. 

6 +4 Liberty – Liberty is had by those well-adapted citizens with enough time, money, and energy to do whatever they choose to do and with no probability of authorities limiting them.

7 +4 Pursuit – Well-adapted people pursue the satisfaction of ongoing actions of actively seeking to produce something valuable.

8 +4 Knowledge – Well-adapted people acquire knowledge from coordinated factual material through the study of pieces of information validity, methods, and scope and focus on those ideas that have proven to conform with natural reality.

9 +4 Love – Well-adapted people have strong affection and attention to others and strive to bring physical and mental health to them.

10 +4 Experiences – Those well-adapted people become wise by exposing themselves to the comprehensive experience of various forms of exploration, such as travel, social groups, expansive reading, and employments.

11 +4 Children – Children make a well-adapted parent a complete person as they bring another naturally given purpose to their lives.

12 +4 Heirs – Heirs round out a well-adapted life from the happiness of their birth, school, first job, marriage, and flourishing grandchildren.

13 +4 Legacy – Legacy brings feelings of purpose to a well-adapted person’s life and helps them feel like a complete person whom the future people will choose to follow.

14+4 Honesty – A well-adapted person’s honesty helps their friends and associates behave honestly, so they can depend on one another to get things done correctly with minimal verification.

15 +4 Integrity – When habitual actions of a well-adapted individual’s internal character are smoothly incorporated into their external behavior, it creates a persona that supports the flourishing of friends.

16 +4 Enthusiasm – Setting personal goals and pursuing those projects with vigor generates enthusiasm in well-adapted people and exposes their associates to the enthusiasm to get things done.

17 +4 Recognition – People seek recognition, but a well-adapted person publicly promotes things that will grant valued status to their group.

18 +4 Natural – The reality of nature we live within must be carefully observed and acknowledged, so we can behave responsibly and thus live cheerfully within its constraints.

19 +4 Supernatural – Powers that appear supernatural are granted to well-adapted people by their followers, and among their powers is the ability to generate believable reasons for working.

20 +4 Serenity – Included in serenity is an eagerness to savor the world we can not change and give our attention and energy what we can deliver.

21 +4 Safety – At the highest, public level safety requires a cadre of dedicated bodyguards to protect the leaders from attacks by enemies, competitors, and assassins.

22 +4 Food – For a well-adapted person, food is readily available in many forms, and the choice is between the style and quality of healthy, tasty food and never its quantity.

23 +4 Water – Excellent quality water is readily available from a modern city’s water faucet flowing for a few seconds to clean the pipes.

24 +4 Air – A well-adapted person seeks to maintain a good place to live with fresh air and is far from the unhealthy pollutions of civilization and nature.

25 +4 Blood – The living genetic heritage of everyone is a person’s family, and the DNA is presently beyond control. Still, knowledge of its qualities makes some compliances possible.

26 +4 Sun – Everyone depends on the constant sun, and well-adapted people appreciate it as a practical daily companion that we must respect, or it can harm us.

27 +4 Rain – We must respect rain as an essential but capricious companion, for it brings food to our bodies and beauty to our lives, but rain also brings dangerous floods.

28 +4 Fertility – Our fertility generates lovable babies, mysterious children, respected adults, and they make well-adapted people’s lives meaningful.

29 +4 Statues – Our nations have statues that anchor the core faith in the public individual’s identity to a time and place that stabilizes our relationships with one another

30 +4 Monuments – Monuments are how well-adapted people have organized their people’s aspirations to maintain society’s stability by creating objects of perpetual unity.

31 +4 Cities – Our well-adapted leaders have created cities that support a community of specialized people not constantly struggling to find food and shelter.

32 +4 Beginning – Well-adapted people understand what works and what doesn’t and lead the people to the functional ones, but everything depends on what was made available in the Beginning.

33 +4 Ending – The beginnings and endings are still outside of public science, so well-adapted people often accept the religious stories of ultimate meanings because those stories make people feel better about those things they can not understand.

33 Aspirations of exemplary people are observed.

This post is an ongoing development of the concept of measuring human well-being and creating a list of measured aspirations. We may then compare where an individual is on the scale to what steps they might take to adjust their various levels of aspirations.

12 +5 Heirs – Thriving heirs are an eternal joy because they provide a living link into the unknowable future.

13 +5 Legacy – The legacy of a perfectly successful child is a great joy to a person’s life, and it fulfills one’s obligations to spouse, parents, society, and life itself.

14 +5 Honesty – Responsibility for manifesting honesty is a guiding principle for an exemplary life. When people know they can trust you, they too are honest, and you can trust them as yourself.

15 +5 Integrity – When a person with exemplary integrity decides to do something, they are free from concern about completing the task. They are content with the habit that it will be done and done well.

16 +5 Enthusiasm – The habit of exemplary enthusiasm involves an attitude of putting maximum positive effort into an activity and the ability to shift quickly from one essential activity to another.

17 +5 Recognition – High levels of recognition require exemplary foreknowledge about future problems and the creation and cultivation of the proper habits and people to achieve important goals.

18 +5 Natural – Living within the natural phenomena of the world is delightful to personal experience, and nature offers us countless opportunities to succeed ourselves and help it thrive.

19 +5 Supernatural – Many things are beyond living beings’ experiences, thoughts, and feelings, but supernatural powers enable exemplary beings to create beautiful myths about incredible futures and serene living with an infinite purpose.

Well-Being Score # 9 Love

06 Wednesday Oct 2021

Posted by probaway in Contentment, diary, Epigrams, habits, happiness, Health, inventions, policy, psychology, survival

≈ 15 Comments

The Well-Being Score candidates now being considered for inclusion are: – #1 Happy – #2 Healthy – #3 Wise – #4 Wealthy – #5 Life – #6 Liberty – #7 Pursuit – #8 Knowledge – #9 Love – #10 Experiences – #11 Children – #12 Heirs – #13 Legacy – #14 Honesty – # 15 Integrity – #16 Enthusiasm – #17 Recognition.

When I started considering Love as an aspiration, it felt like a mutual attraction between two people. However, when I searched Love in the dictionaries, they defined it as a directed affection towards another person or thing. Therefore, if being loved is included in these Well-Being aspirations, then those other people’s affectionate feelings directed toward oneself would be better-named recognition. Also, there is the problem of the five-point scale starting from #9 Love 1 = Hate, or #9 Love 1 = disregard, the total disregard for someone’s existence.


Previous Well-Being ratings have used both approaches. #2 Healthy went from seriously high blood pressure as the measurable proxy for health, on through a perfect zone, and then to seriously low blood pressure. Whereas #4 Wealthy went from a very bad FICO score as a proxy for poor, through the middle range and on to a very high score for good. When stated that way, it seems that Love would go from a disregard to infinite regard for the other’s Well-Being.

#9 Love +1 is a total disregard for a given person or category of persons or things.

#9 Love +2 is a routine inattentive feeling for people and things encountered.

#9 Love +3 is the normal person taking care of the people and things they are responsible for in their daily interactions.

#9 Love +4 is a strong affection and attention for a person and for their physical and mental health.

#9 Love +5 is holding another’s well-being at a higher level of caring than one has for their own life.

Checking health with the Sitting Rising Test

Exploring Ben Franklin’s four human aspirations of Happiness _ Health  _ Wisdom  _ Wealth, health was measured using blood pressure as the measurable proxy. An alternative to blood pressure was Body Mass Index (BMI), and obesity was part of the discussion two days ago, but when looking at the CDC’s recent evolution of obesity in American states, it didn’t appear to be a good proxy for health. So today, I’ve been doing some of the Sitting Rising Tests that claim to measure general health and predict longevity in people over sixty-five. I’m now eighty-six years old and supposedly well past doing well on those strength and flexibility tests, but I gave it a try. Here is an eight-minute video by Jon Pearlstone on YouTube found on a Google search of “Sitting Rising Test.”

I watched his video and was able to do his complete routine without too much difficulty. It did take a little bit of practice because I’m not used to getting up and sitting down with my legs crossed.

These sit-rise tests probably are predictive of five-year mortality for geriatric people because people grow more feeble as they age. However, they are probably not as good as blood pressure for a general measurement of health over all age groups. Obesity as measured by Body Mass Index (BMI) is probably better for the general population, but few obese people reach old age, and probably they wouldn’t be able to score well on these sitting-rising tests.

A review of happy, healthy, wise, and wealthy

It was absurd to try to put numbered valuations on Ben Franklin’s human aspirations of happiness, health, wisdom, and wealth. But I explored the possibility and developed a simple five-point scale for each of those qualities. The effort was aimed at a bell curve idea of putting two-thirds in the middle zone of each of those aspirations, roughly a percent or so at either end, and the remaining thirty percent split evenly between those found between the top and bottom.


We know what rare moments of being very happy and very unhappy are, but we live most of our time in the middle zone. But, often, we are noticeably in those intermediate states of blue or cheerful.


All I did with this system was to put a number to each of those five conditions of ordinary value, and I assumed that all four aspirations were equal for attaining our total well-being. So I generated the well-being score by adding up the five numbered ratings on each of the four aspirations.


A perfect 5 was given to Ben Franklin on all four aspirations, which added together generated a Well-Being Score of 20/20. Perhaps a fair score of 4/20 would be given to Trump. I hear the scream of denial, but consider the FICO score representing the economic well-being of someone who has 3,500 outstanding lawsuits for failure to pay monetary debts. Or the Happiness score for someone who condemns a loyal friend and top aid to a crowd shouting they seek to hang him and prove it by erecting a gallows nearby. Or the wisdom of a man who seeks control by forming his supporters into mutual enemies by dividing everyone he governs into quarreling groups. Or, judging someone from a distance, who is seriously overweight and has been seen as preferring to eat junk food. His blood pressure isn’t known, so the more obvious BMI might be a better measure in this case.


I have a common understanding of the complexities of the lives of these two representatives on the Well-Being scale, and I respect and intentionally obey whoever is our elected representative.

Human adult well-being measured for Happiness, Health, Wisdom and Wealth

This post puts objective measures on Ben Franklin’s four human aspirations of being happy, healthy, wise and wealthy. The samples below are taken from recent posts to form a more coherent statement, but to do an accurate individual measurement requires going to the completely defined measurements found in Happiness … Health … Wisdom … Wealth. The goal is to be able to discuss precisely these nebulous ideas by defining an idea and placing values on those ideas as +1 for a low value, a +3 for a middle value and a +5 for an outstanding value. Then to add together those for a score of 4 (1 x 4) through 20 (5 x 4). Below are examples of a perfect score of 20/20, followed by examples of others down to a poor score of 4/20.


A near-ideal Well-Being Score is 20/20.

#1 Happy +5 would be – Blissfully content / Establishing a higher working social system / Gathering, organizing, and publishing complex material so that others can understand and use it. / Farsighted attention and developing to the maximum the social wisdom of the entire society. / Contented at creating a working society that hopes for results in life with justice for its members / Utilizing all available resources to maximize humanity’s survival and population vigor.

#2 Healthy +5 would be – Having a blood pressure near an ideal blood pressure of 105/70 with a pulse pressure of 35.

#3 Wisdom +5 would be – A SAGE person’s expressions of ego expansion are taking control of his environment by using the methods of a PROGENITOR, giving skills to evolve worth by MEDITATING, teachable paths to higher realities PROPHESYING, to create the conditions for human growth, GOLDEN-RULING Doing to others as they should do, NO-EXAMPLING to generate universal well-being.

#4 Wealthy +5 would be – Earning a FICO score of 820 or better, as a proxy for being careful with one’s public financial obligations and having honest relationships with other people.


An excellent Well-Being Score is 16/20.

#1 Happy +4 would be – Contented graciousness / Earning and holding group sanctioned office and exercising its power. / Creating potential happiness for many people by fulfilling important leadership roles well.

#2 Healthy +4 would be – Having a blood pressure between (120/80 PP40 and 110/70 pp40) or (100/65 pp35 and 90/60 pp30)

#3 Wisdom +4 would be – A MATURE person’s expressions of ego expansion are taking control of his environment by using the methods of a LEADER, giving goals to people by CREATING attainable solutions to problems, HUMORING them to aid in the creation of self-consciousness, EXPOSING people to typical issues, ALTRUISTIC-GIVING to achieve common goals.

#4 Wealthy +4 would be – Earning a FICO score of between 800 and 820, being careful with their financial responsibilities, and having excellent relationships with other people.


A normal Well-Being Score is 12/20.

#1 Happy +3 HAPS~8 would be – Exuberant satisfaction / Perceptual pleasure in creating permanent status and wealth. / Spectacular success in some ongoing activities like completion of a long-anticipated project. / Contests for office, a show of weapons, show of status symbols, and display of pride. / Satisfaction in having achieved the long sought-for goal gained by thought, energy, and action. / Energeiaism = the action of a person’s virtues to the best ends available to the individual and their group.

#2 Health +3 would be – having a higher than the recommended blood pressure of between 150/95 pp55 and 120/80 pp 40 or lower than the recommended blood pressure of between 90/60 pp30 and 80/55 pp20. These scores of +3 are outside the currently recommended blood pressure zone.

#3 Wisdom +3 would be – An ADULT person’s expressions of ego expansion are taking control of his environment by using the methods of a PRODUCER acquiring self-worth by CALCULATING solutions to personal problems LECTURING about knowledge ACHIEVING STATUS by productive actions EARNING PROPERTY for personal accumulation.

#4 Wealth +3 would be – Earning a FICO score of between 620 and 800, which measures average personal compliance with expected social behavior.

This example of Well-Being Scores for the four components adds up to 11/20, 12/20, or 13/20, which is in the average adult range.


An ordinary Well-Being Score is 8/20.

#1 Happy +2 HAPS~4 would be – Perceiving pleasure in the positive group emotions and relations. / Getting together with people for feasting, partying, lectures and conversations. / Love, acceptance, romance, conforming, prayer, ritual, belief, conviction, security, and meaning. / Social harmony in groups of like-minded people in completing some group activity. / Intimate connection with the ultimate group spirits through the use of group work and ritual.

#3 Wisdom +2 would be – An ADULT person’s expressions of ego expansion are taking control of his environment by using the methods of a PRODUCER acquiring self-worth by CALCULATING solutions to personal problems LECTURING about knowledge ACHIEVING STATUS by productive actions EARNING PROPERTY for personal accumulation.

#2 Health +1 would be – blood pressure above 190/115. This blood pressure would possibly get an overnight stay in a hospital even if there were no other symptoms.

#3 Wisdom +1 would be – A person’s expressions of ego expansion are taking control of his environment by using the methods of a DREAMER fantasizing self-worth, by DELUSIONAL THINKING about personal qualities, SILLY LYING to get attention, FABRICATING RELATIONSHIPS about people, GRABBING THINGS and just holding on to them. 

#4 Wealth +1 would be – Earning a FICO score of between 300 and 520, which measures a rebellion of personal compliance with expected social behavior.

This example of Well-Being Scores for the four components adds up to 4/20, which is in the rebellious adult range of inability to conform to social requirements.

Using Ben Franklin’s happy, healthy, wise, and wealthy goals, I created a 5-level rating system for each of those human aspirations. Yesterday’s post was about a person achieving the highest level in all four of Franklin’s noble quests. He appeared to have achieved all of them to the highest level, having a rating of 5 on each of the 4 quests, which gave him a score of 20/20. So today, I will list the qualities of the first averaged level down from near perfection, which would be the sum of 4 quests rated at 4, for a well-being score of 16/20.

A very good Well-being score of 16/20

#1 Happy +4 would be – Contented graciousness / Earning and holding group sanctioned office and exercising its power. / Creating potential happiness for many people by fulfilling important leadership roles well. Taking responsibility for the care of the group and developing political skills granting compassion. / Acknowledgment of skill and performance in representing the group and their granting of power of their decisions. / Authoritarianism / social, political, and personal power under group sanctioned and monitored guidance.

#2 Healthy +4 would be – Having a blood pressure between (120/80 PP40 and 110/70 pp40) or (100/65 pp35 and 90/60 pp30)

#3 Wisdom +4 would be – A MATURE person’s expressions of ego expansion are taking control of his environment by using the methods of a LEADER, giving goals to people by CREATING attainable solutions to problems, HUMORING them to aid in the creation of self-consciousness, EXPOSING people to typical issues, ALTRUISTIC-GIVING to achieve common goals.

#4 Wealthy +4 would be – Earning a FICO score of between 800 and 820, being careful with their financial responsibilities, and having excellent relationships with other people.
