The enemies of enjoyment
    #23437826 - 07/13/16 01:07 PM (7 years, 6 months ago)

Have you ever wanted something a lot?  It feels awesome when you get it.

But what about if you have a lot of that same awesome thing?  Suddenly its value becomes less and thus the enjoyment from it decreases.

Some things have immunity to this. I like money. When I get it ik happy but it's never enough. Even if I got a million bucks in one day I'd still feel usatisfied. Idk, I think a billion dollars might satisfy my itch for money. I know I sound like an awful person saying that but hey, I don't lie.

No that's called olfactory habituation.


OP would things truly be enjoyable in the sense you speak of if it's value didn't fluctuate? That's really one of the truest sources of ambition. Too much comfort makes for a bored person, you know. I believe in balance in everything, without the pain of change it wouldn't be so beautiful too. Learn to embrace things as they come, then watching it all blow by in the breeze won't be so painful.

the anticipation of drugs has usually outweighed the actual experience for me in most cases.  with the exception of the more powerful substances.

Lao Tzu said that if you are depressed you are living in the past, if you are anxious you are living in the future, and if you are at peace you are living in the present. If you are dissatisfied then maybe you need to reevaluate your expectations. I see dissappointment as a form of attachment, and I'd say if you're attached to something to the point of discomfot then there's probably something you need to let go of. Going with the flow isn't that hard, all you gotta do is set your boat down.

XLcaps, you're pure awesomeness, u should open up a church or something :grin:

And yes Niceonereturns, i have had this effect. Its basically caused by too much of a good thing. As mentioned, moderation is key.

With life, variety of things will likely make us the most happy. The mind enjoys learning new things and experiencing novel things as well.

Its important to challenge your brain to avoid stagnation.
