eudaimonia

Many people are forewarned against enthusiasm;
they mistake it with fanaticism,
and it's a big mistake.

Fanaticism is an exclusive passion based upon one opinion;
enthusiasm connects to the universal harmony;
it's love of beauty,
the elevation of the soul,
the pleasure of devotion,
all united in the same sentiment that has grandure and calm.

The meaning of this word for the Greeks provides the most noble definition: enthusiasm signifies God is in us.

In effect, when man's existence is expansive
it has something of the divine.
