So many ppl crave the much needed affection that we end up with warped desires and kind of new age anomalies like onlyfans




:thumbup:

And other warped desires (love that term!) such as insatiable cravings for food, video games, drugs, alcohol, gambling, etc.  The hungry ghost concept (in Buddhism and Chinese traditional religion) really sheds light on this aspect of human suffering.

A great article on "supernormal stimuli" a.k.a. "superstimuli:"

Really good article!

One segment made me pause and ponder

Resisting any temptation takes conscious expenditure of an exhaustible supply of mental energy.  It is not in fact true that we can "just say no" - not just say no, without cost to ourselves.

This implies (at some point) there might be such a thing as an "irresistible desire".  I'm not sure I agree with that.  It feels like the popularized 12 Step concept that certain unique people are "powerless".  This is Step #1 in every program.

Deciding to not engage in a behavior takes something called "mental energy"?

Choosing to not rise from the couch & go eat ice cream takes "mental energy"?

Science shows that, in fact, it does.

There was a study done, where they took two groups of people and put them in a room with cookies. One group was allowed to eat the cookies, the other was given horseradish to eat and had to look at the cookies.

Then both groups were assigned a difficult/impossible puzzle. Those that ate the horseradish were significantly less persistent in trying to solve the puzzle, and gave up earlier.

You see aspects of this in real life, too. You resisted the candy aisle, but can you resist the candy display by the cashier?

Similarly, you see people make less healthy choices when they are tired. Ever find yourself ordering a pizza after a long day or work instead of cooking?
