The term quality of life is used to evaluate the general well-being of individuals and societies. The term is used in a wide range of contexts, including the fields of international development, healthcare, and politics. Quality of life should not be confused with the concept of standard of living, which is based primarily on income. Instead, standard indicators of the quality of life include not only wealth and employment, but also the built environment, physical and mental health, education, recreation and leisure time, and social belonging.
According to ecological economist Robert Costanza:
Also frequently related are concepts such as freedom, human rights, and happiness. However, since happiness is subjective and hard to measure, other measures are generally given priority. It has also been shown that happiness, as much as it can be measured, does not necessarily increase correspondingly with the comfort that results from increasing income. As a result, standard of living should not be taken to be a measure of happiness.
Kanye Omari West ( /ˈkɑːnjeɪ/; born June 8, 1977) is an American musician, film director and fashion designer. West first rose to fame as a producer for Roc-A-Fella Records, where he eventually achieved recognition for his work on Jay-Z's album The Blueprint, as well as hit singles for musical artists including Alicia Keys, Ludacris, and Janet Jackson. His style of production originally used pitched-up vocal samples from soul songs incorporated with his own drums and instruments. However, subsequent productions saw him broadening his musical palette and expressing influences encompassing '70s R&B, baroque pop, trip hop, arena rock, folk, alternative, electronica, synthpop, and classical music.
West released his debut album The College Dropout in 2004, his second album Late Registration in 2005, his third album Graduation in 2007, his fourth album 808s & Heartbreak in 2008, and his fifth album My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy in 2010. West released a collaborative album, Watch the Throne with Jay-Z in 2011, which is the duo's first collaborative album. His five solo albums, all of which have gone platinum, have received numerous awards and critical acclaim. As of 2012, West has won a total of eighteen Grammy Awards, making him one of the most awarded artists of all-time. All albums have been very commercially successful, with My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy becoming his fourth consecutive No. 1 album in the U.S. upon release. West has had 5 songs exceed 3 million in digital sales as of July 2011, with "Gold Digger" selling 3,086,000, "Stronger" selling 4,402,000, "Heartless" selling 3,742,000, "E.T." selling over 4,000,000 and "Love Lockdown" selling over 3,000,000 placing him third in overall digital sales of the past decade. He has sold over 30 million digital songs in the United States making him one of the best-selling digital artists of all-time.

A life glance before my eyes is worth watching...
Thinking I was hoping... how come we ended up trusting each other...
We are just fucking each other

Just groove with us, move your mind and fly
Magnify your perspective 360 wide
Identify truth and falseness from self
Blend trends in wealth into an image of health
If you peep what i speak, you'll turn it around
Relinquishing matenal abdication of crown
Kings, pawns dusk dawn, plus/minus relation
Revelations around duck temptation just face them
* katachi no nai you na mono me dewa kesshite mire wa shinai koto
Oto to kotoba to kokoro musubitsukeru kono basho
Just do or do not make your choice on the spot
Don't get caught in emotion it's either cold or hot
Left to right take flight groove in the sound and get down
Feel the truth in our deal we're comin' comin' around
To your town, openin' doors with meanin' so bold
It's stopin' opposition makin' whole kingdoms fold
You sold or sold out infuse the mind with no doubt
And you can do anything livin' the natural route, i'm out

There is no shape in this thing with your eyes
Said it can't be seen, it's only in inside
The sound, sound
In the words, words
In the heart, heart, connect it right here
From micro to macro from negative to positive
Jiai sonkei kansha kachi souzou
I said a truth to the trust of the passion in love
Life, freedom, love it right here
