What is your definition of Europhia? Mine is feeling good in my body, being able to feel energy flow through me, having a high potential for pleasurable and complete orgasm. It’s not “happiness” with a side of mcfries@pinacolada "The production of euphoria has been mentioned as a side effect, but I think euphoria is simply an indication of a good physiological state.”- Ray Peat
"if you're far from the euphoric state you're structurally degenerating" - Ray Peat
Maybe I’m just biased because the word reminds me so much of happenstance. It’s like you have to be lucky to be happy, it’s depending on external conditions. To the extent that a good environment and plentiful food are external conditions, I guess that could make one lucky. And maybe the Welsh were on to something.
happy (adj.)
late 14c., "lucky, favored by fortune, being in advantageous circumstances, prosperous;" of events, "turning out well," from hap (n.) "chance, fortune" + -y (2). Sense of "very glad" first recorded late 14c. Meaning "greatly pleased and content" is from 1520s. Old English had eadig (from ead "wealth, riches") and gesælig, which has become silly. Old English bliðe "happy" survives as blithe. From Greek to Irish, a great majority of the European words for "happy" at first meant "lucky." An exception is Welsh, where the word used first meant "wise."
