Angliholic Is it the same to say "a useful/beneficial life" instead of "a rewarding life" in the above? No, saying "useful/beneficial" is to introduce an element of judgmentalism that does not exist in the original. Whether a life is "rewarding" is something that the person experiences and judges for himself; whether a life is "useful/beneficial" is something that others determine based on their own criteria.
