There is more both of beauty and of raison d'etre in the works of nature- than in those of art.
Business or toil is merely utilitarian. It is necessary but does not enrich or ennoble a human life.
The goal of working is to have free time.
The purpose of speaking well (rhetoric) is to handle topics we discuss without formal methods, for an audience that can't easily follow complex arguments or long reasoning.
Happiness, then, is found to be something perfect and self-sufficient, being the end to which our actions are directed.
But nature flies from the infinite; for the infinite is imperfect, and nature always seeks an end.
Happiness is an activity of the soul in accordance with virtue
If happiness is activity in accordance with excellence, it is reasonable that it should be in accordance with the highest excellence.
Nature creates nothing without a purpose.
Nature makes nothing incomplete, and nothing in vain.
