According to Aristotle, things of any variety have a characteristic function

that they are properly used to perform. The good for human beings, then,

must essentially involve the entire proper function of human life as a whole,

and this must be an activity of the soul that expresses genuine virtue or

excellence.

Thus, human beings should aim at a life in full conformity with their

rational natures

True happiness can therefore be attained only through the cultivation of

the virtues that make a human life complete
