aldous huxley is a genius...ape and essence is one my favorites by him.
as far as the topic of the thread...nirvana could be considered happiness and of course the goal of all our lives is to attain happiness. actually, considering happiness is so fleeting i would replace happiness with contentment. i feel this is why it seems people with so much money become so disillusioned and appear even more upset with life than a lot of other classes of people. it is easy to feel that while you have something to work for in the middle and lower class, once you have all the money you need it is easy for your life to seem like it has nowhere else to go. that is why it is so easy to become power hungry and desire even more money.
meditation is the way to go.
