[quote=Anonymous]Sounds like you are on a hedonic treadmill. "The hedonic treadmill, also known as hedonic adaptation, is the observed tendency of humans to quickly return to a relatively stable level of happiness despite major positive or negative events or life changes. [b]According to this theory, as a person makes more money, expectations and desires rise in tandem, which results in no permanent gain in happiness.[/b] Philip Brickman and Donald T. Campbell coined the term in their essay "Hedonic Relativism and Planning the Good Society" -- Wikipedia[/quote]
