Quote:
The bottom line always falls back to the basics of human nature...

We want what we can't have and we don't appreciate things we have as much because we tire of them.


We acclimate very rapidly to things that make us happy and very slowly to things that make us unhappy.

Such is the nature of attachment (to people, places, things and so on). Joy is different, but it requires being mindfully in the moment regularly.

Win the lottery. Happy. 6 months later, unhappy.

Spouse drowns your children... years of turmoil ahead.
