"One went to the door of the Beloved and
knocked. A voice asked, 'Who is there?'
He answered, 'It is I.'
The voice said, 'There is no room for Me and Thee.'
The door was shut.
After a year of solitude and deprivation he returned and knocked.
A voice from within asked, 'Who is there?'
The man said, 'It is Thee.'
The door was opened for him."

Last month's cover article in the Atlantic was about how the cult of self esteem is ruining our kids (http://www.theatlantic.com/magazine). I've been thinking about the pursuit of happiness and happiness as a goal. I don't think I like the word. I looked it up: eudaemonia is a Greek word commonly translated as happiness, however "human flourishing" is a more accurate translation. "Human flourishing" sounds like something that can include the timely depths that are needed to bring reflection, change, and satisfaction in people's lives. I don't think happiness is my goal and I am going to stop mindlessly participating in its constant promotion. I think compassion is a better personal campaign and it will probably lead to more human flourishing.
