The Happiness of Uncertainty
|
Part
of the reason we try to understand the causes of our experience is that
we believe we can make these experiences happen again. The problem is,
understanding also makes the experience less valuable, because we adapt
to it. It?s surprising things, uncertain things, things we don?t fully
comprehend that seem to bring us the greatest and longest-lasting
happiness.
- Daniel Gilbert, "The Pleasure Paradox" |
