I'm not sure that happiness should be the ultimate goal of people. I mean, being happy is just a feeling. Shouldn't we strive to be better people for oneself and society and not the maintenance of one's life for the purpose of a single feeling?
happiness was never the point and as far as i can tell thinking happiness is the point is a modern western pathology

That's interesting. Such as the whole obsession with "utility"?

Yeah, I would also call that a pathology. Cf.

As far as I can tell from doing introspection with lots of coaching clients, something like neverending oneness and bliss is a terminal goal for many people. You can call the goal something like "Congruence" here - but the congruence still seems to be to some sort of felt sense.

I like that term "congruence".
