    Sam,

    one little question why did you choose <Eudaimonia> and I thought you
    already mentioned it but I mean where did you derive it from? My first
    philosophy book I ever read was Aritotle's Ethica(Ethics), (I found it great
    back then now it makes feel awkward)but to get to my point did you get it
    from Ethics or somewhere else, and if so what do you see as the main
    difference between <Eudaimonia> and <Kalokagathia> from a Moq perspective?

    ps: I will post my mysticism post I promised in a few days
