What questions should the evaluators ask to determine whether family members are seeking to know themselves and pursuing happiness in their life journeys? Among them might be the following: 1) Is the person I am evaluating free, or is he or she dependent? 2) Is this person self-aware? 3) Has this person sought to know his or her calling? If yes, is he or she pursuing it? If not, why not? 4) Does this person perceive the difference in work as calling and work as wages? 5) Has this person had a mentor in pursuing this calling? Does he or she have a mentor now in pursuing his or her calling, or in any other area of his or her life? If not, does he or she have the skills to find one? 6) Has this person the humility to be an apprentice in order not only to learn the body of knowledge required to pursue his or her calling but to undertake the process of learning itself? Has this person been an apprentice? Has this person mastered something so he or she understands, and has lived out, the process of learning that comes with passing through the stages of apprenticeship to journey-man to master? 7) Does this person understand the difference between hubris and humility and the consequences to his or her pursuit of happiness of each of them? 8) Does this person have friends?
