Eudaimonia

The state of true happiness and fulfillment in life. Derived from prodigious introspection, retrospection, philosophizing, and self-acceptance.

Dude 1: Once I retire to the Bahamas, I will be able to reach eudaimonia.
Dude 2: All I need to reach eudaimonia is a Netflix and Chill with that cute girl next door who’ll play Zelda with me:
Dude 1: One man’s trash is another man’s treasure...

Eudaimonia

It is a Greek word commonly translated as happiness or welfare; however, "human flourishing" has been proposed as a more accurate translation. It is a central concept in Aristotelian ethics and political philosophy.

The perspective that most guides my own life and conception on manhood is Aristotle’s concept of eudaimonia
