In a weird way, human psychology makes it so that you'll constantly experience highs and lows.
If you live in relative comfort for sometime. Your brain would make that the new baseline that it measures lows and highs from.
And if you live in terrible conditions, that would be your new baseline and even a slight improvement to it would be a high. Even though it is objectively terrible.
Totally agree.
Just as an example, within the same country you can find happy people who live in poverty and you can find financially wealthy who are absolutely miserable.
Psychology of the individual is a huge factor on “happiness.”
