It's very difficult to define that word where it means the same thing to every human being.

The closest I can get is that every human is able to live without worrying about basic survival, so they can use their brains for what they decide makes them happy and make the most of being alive. If that were to happen, people would stop hurting and killing each other over a feeling of lack and scarcity.
