RE: Is Modern Society Obsessed With Short Term Pleasure?

in #psychology8 years ago

Do you have any idea for a solution of sorts? or are we doomed due to our biology and all that is left is to recognize all the different variations of addictions out there?

Sort:  

The only solution I can think of is to be aware of it and change your own behaviour.

do you think perhaps, that if there was a way to teach balance in life to people, say from earlier education studies, i.e. with the use of meditation or mindfulness or yoga as part of academic studies, that it would reduce the addiction level? maybe not the pursuit of (short term) pleasure on a daily basis, but balance between multiple streams of pleasures that can reduce the addiction to a single one, so neither one consumes a person...

Yes it is possible
