The Paradox of Comfort and Diminishing Joy

Constant pursuit of comfort gradually reduces the intensity of the pleasure we experience, as our psychological perception quickly adapts to the level of well-being we have already attained. In other words, once we reach a certain level of convenience, our sense of joy is rapidly dulled, and increasingly powerful stimuli are required to maintain the same intensity of pleasure. This creates a vicious cycle: the more we receive, the less impact each new positive experience has emotionally, leading to a constant feeling of dissatisfaction and even inner suffering.

"Our dependence on comfort plunges a person into ever-growing suffering. As soon as we reach a level of convenience, we need more and more. Happiness thus becomes harder and harder to sustain. People become greedy for new things yet remain increasingly unsatisfied. Something is always wrong. They may temporarily feel pleasure, but that sensation quickly dulls and no longer brings joy."

"Psychology notes the extremely relative and unstable nature of the experience of pleasure itself. The pursuit of pleasure is felt more acutely than the pleasure itself. The sensation of pleasure quickly dulls, requiring an ever-increasing intensity of need to sustain it." (source: link txt)
