We all enjoy good food, our favourite music, pleasant company and the like. Enjoying such things, we want more and more of them. For instance, we find that when we are very fond of a particular type of food and eat it again and again, we soon get bored with it. We try another kind of food, like it, enjoy it, and still after a while, we begin to get bored with it. We even get tired of our favourite piece of music. We get tired of our friends. We look for more and more we are never completely satisfied, we go on to look for something else. In short, it is said that trying to satisfy our craving for pleasant experiences is like drinking saltwater when thirsty, it only increases our thirst. (Abstract from textbook)
