Whenever we experience a letdown, we are actually falling into very our own reservoir of discomfort, unease, sadness, and sorrow which has been left to fester below the surface of our day-to-day lives. Personal difficulties encountered in life are not the cause of our grief, but instead can be understood as an abrupt exposure of the repressed distress hiding underneath. Any time we hit bottom, we immediately find a way to bring ourselves back to the pleasure state. This is learned behavior and happens without our conscious attention.
