Why do we lose the pleasure of getting excited about things after getting them?
We are created as human beings in a state of pursuit and an innate desire to get and reach, and the things that are in our eyes bright are only a trick from your brain to stimulate you, but when we get what we want and it becomes available in our hands, we discover that it was very ordinary and unnecessary to the extent that we considered it a dream.
According to Dr. Irving Biederman, a neuroscientist at the University of Southern California says:
The receptors in the brain need regular strikes of infatuation. A feeling of lack, need, or liking for something is just a stimulus cry from your brain for a short burst of positive chemicals like serotonin and dopamine, the chemical compounds that are produced when we anticipate pleasure” (such as getting things).
And after this short batch of chemicals ends, your brain searches for new things that make you run after them to provide it with the same amount of pleasure, always making you stimulated to fill the gap through acquisition.
“The grass is greener on the other side of the fence.”
Therefore, you always feel as if you are in pursuit of things, and this explains the feeling of people who have everything in your eyes or for you when they are looking for something or lack something that they want to get, and it also explains how you feel when you say “I want something but I don’t know what it is.” .
The real cure is to be fully aware of the way your brain works, and you must not be led by all your desires and make them obsessions that are based only on short-term fluctuations in your brain chemicals.
And after a while you will discover that the thing that you did not achieve would not have added more value to your life, you just overestimated it and exaggerated your suffering.
And after a while, you will discover that what you missed and what you got would not have added more value to your life. You just overestimated what you got and exaggerated your suffering.
The topic applies to human relationships as well, to a large extent, and to the relationships of ownership and attachment in particular.
