life is (good)

Not too long ago, T-shirts began appearing with an image of a happy guy golfing or lazily sitting in an Adirondack chair or hiking, accompanied by the message, "Life is good."  As if there's an alternative point of view.

Well, maybe.  A suggestion:  "Life is."  A complete sentence without "good," which implies that life could be otherwise.  

From the outside, sure.  Bad weather, bad pain, bad parents, bad children, bad government...but inside, what changes?
