I looked into an interesting subject called hedonic adaptation which states that humans have the tendency to return to a state of happiness even with the exposure of positive and negative life changing events. That humans have a set point of happiness and tends to always end at this point whether something dramatic happens or not. This theory is also known as the hedonic treadmill because no matter how hard one works, he or she will end up back where they are. In one perspective, it seems that this theory than diminishes one's motivation to work hard but looked at in a different perspective, it is comforting to know that humans have the ability to adapt well to the surroundings. The world can seem to be full of suffering but knowing that we can adapt and be imperious to the despair and pains is very fortunate.  I found this concept quite interesting because not only is it very insightful, but the whole concept is quite simple. Anyways, check it out so we can discuss it!
