The desire to feel good never ends—and that’s the source of all your problems.
You seek love and validation because it doesn’t feel good to not be loved and validated.
You seek money and status because it doesn’t feel good to worry about not having money and status.
You seek happiness and peace because it doesn’t feel good to lack happiness and peace in your life.
In each case, you want to feel a certain way but you don’t feel that way. And it’s precisely that gap in feelings that causes all of humanity’s suffering.
It’s what causes everything from a toddler melting down in the middle of a grocery store aisle to large-scale geopolitical conflicts that suck us into the screens we glue our faces to every day.
In short, emotions run the world.
