criminally late to read this as I just got the substack app. great thoughts 👍

re: #1, there’s a Chinese phrase 乐极生悲, which is a similar concept. makes me think how much we actually experience absolute emotions (rather than relative ones derived from comparison)

i loved this. particularly curious about #5 because i also went to a comedy show and had a bit of an epiphany afterwards. excited to see more here in 2024 :)
