What is and is not DBing

[TimeHeals]

You know what else can happen an lead to sudden changes in a person's behavior?

A shift in perspective. And anything can lead to this.

It could be just getting older and realizing you have little or no time to realize your dreams and goals.

It could be acheiving all of your major goals and realizing that they didn't make you happy.

It could be a sudden illess that makes you realize that your time here is limited, or the death of somebody close that does the same.

It could be a slowly, suffocating focus on past regrets and a fatalistic idea that this will never change.

It could be a lot of things that cause a shift in perspective (and addictions will do this to you too).

And if that shift is a bit unbalanced toward living and experiencing stimulating or pleasurable things in the present... to the point that consequences aren't always taken into account (or risk assesments aren't made), a person can very well be happily chasing things that make them happy at the moment but continually running into unpleasant consequences that make them unhappy, only to redouble efforts to be happy right now
