Why this word is great

EUPATHY — [Noun] A state of right or good feeling, specifically a durable contentment arising from moral or virtuous conduct. From the Greek eu- ("good, well") and -pathy, from pathos ("feeling, suffering"). Unlike "euphoria" (which denotes a frenetic, chemical high) or "apathy" (which signifies a hollow void of disengagement), eupathy is the quiet hum of a conscience at rest. It is the weary satisfaction after an honest day's labor, the calm that settles in the wake of a difficult but righteous choice, the faint, residual warmth of an unobserved kindness—the soul's modest, unadvertised dividend for having built its peace upon the rock of its own nature.

noun

Right feeling.“For then is there said to be an Eupathy or good Disposition of the Affections”
