I agree with the person above - although this wouldn't be my first thought when I hear the word empower, among these answers, the one that seems the most correct is A. to create a strong desire or longing.
For example:
The desire to go home empowered me.
A machine that seperated cottenseeds from the plant fibers
<u>Explanation</u>:
The idea that becoming rich defines whether we have a good life is not true; becomes often times the <u>happiness one gets from things they owned is short-lived.</u>
For many today including me, our definition of a <u>good life</u> has <em>changed </em>as a result of our experiences in life. Simply knowing you are loved and have loved ones makes many of us happy, and <u>there is this good feeling that sets in when you help others even in little ways.</u>
So in a sense, what we define as a good life is subjective (coming from within), and it<u> should be based on how we really feel on the inside, by asking; Do I feel good on the inside?</u>
