[QUOTE="Memento Mori, post: 40171, member: 1"] I guess if you're a normalfag you can just take life at face value and enjoy the bread and circuses, but if you're the more introspective type you're always tacitly aware to an extent that day-to-day living is a state of toil and ennui most of the time. Generally you're always below or remaining just at baseline in terms of mood, and the highs in life are often few and short-lived. The stresses of life don't help much either, once you become an adult you're expected to fend for yourself and secure basic resources for yourself, which if you belong in the average to low-income socio-economic class like most people do, it's a goal with no end in sight. I don't think there's such a thing as a 'happy life' tbh, positive periods in life will always inevitably reverse at some point, coming and receding like the tide. I think you just have to continually make adjustments to your lifestyle to where the baseline of your current life equates to what could be considered a high point in previous periods in your life. The hedonic treadmill never ends, does it not? [/QUOTE]
