I'd like to read that book. It's so crazy how our minds just change. Once we have something, it's no longer what we want. Our brains are wired so that we are never happy, never satisfied. And we have to fight that every day, and in some ways it fuels us.
That's why I say humans are just animals. A lot of what we do doesn't make sense, but it's on us to use the big brain and be more than animals. Every one of us has to do this for it to really work. It reminds of this old quote:
"No drop of water thinks itself responsible for the flood".
But people, like water droplets, do what other people do. So setting that positive example means others will follow.
Steve, I hope you keep working hard to figure out who you are and who you want to be. Good luck on this.

It is not things that bother us, but the stories we tell ourselves about things.
