Felicia grew up in a religious community that sequester themselves from the world. She has been home schooled her whole life by members of the community. Her grandparents recently visited her and encouraged to attend college. They think she is artistically talented and would thoroughly enjoy art school. They even offered to pay for her education. She declined their offer because she can’t imagine leaving the community. She has no other passion in life than working and praying in the community.
in felicia's case, it does not matter whether or not she would have enjoyed being an artist more than being a member of her community. this is because the quality of your life is not determined by what you do not know. if she stays in the religious community and spends he days helping others, she will spend all of her days doing what she wants to do, and thus living a good life. however if she choses to go to the art school, it will take her time to adjust and realize that she does enjoy it and because during that transitioning time, she is not doing what she wants to be doing, she is living less of a good life than the original version of herself.
