Beatitude

For some reason I looked up the definition of this word the other day.

In addition to referring to the declarations of the Sermon on the Mount, beatitude means a state of utmost bliss. 

----more----

For instance, here it is used in a sentence: not from earthly riches but from the milk of human kindness comes true beatitude or utmost bliss.

I like the concept of utmost bliss.

I imagine this to feel like what I would call, stupid happy contented bliss – which seems like – yeah – utmost bliss.  

Like you can’t get anymore blissed out.  

Bliss of course means – complete happiness.

So beatitude is the highest state of complete happiness a person can hope to achieve. 

This is what I strive for as a Humanist.

So, is Humanism a way to achieve beatitude?  Yeah – I think it is.
