Poignant observation. Once people get what they want you will see hedonic adaptation slowly slide their level of comfort back down, and they regress to the childishness behind the intellectualism of their needs. The relationship is just the intellectualism, the cope.

That's why millionares can still be more depressed than poor farmers and kill themselves.
