the brain's standing ovation, applauding chemicals that never asked for an encore.
means A feeling of intense happiness, well-being, or elation, often more powerful than the situation warrants.
from From Greek euphoria, 'the power of enduring easily,' built from eu- 'well, good' and pherein 'to bear, to carry' — literally 'bearing things well.' That pherein is a deep Indo-European root for carrying, a likely cousin of Latin ferre and even English 'bear.' The word first entered English as a medical term for a patient's sense of bodily comfort and ease, before it floated free of the sickbed to mean any soaring, almost weightless joy.
