Think Big - Quote; Addiction

The lure of quantity is the most dangerous of all.

– Simone Weil

It isn't exactly what Simone Weil meant, but there are times when not experiencing somethings are better than when you do because then when you realize how nice they are, you start to want more of it. It's like a black hole of desire. The wait for the next time you can experience that sensation (under acceptable circumstances) can be excruciating, so there is the possibility of turning to obtain it under not so desirable conditions. Sounds like drugs. Yeah, addiction.
Maybe it isn't just addiction.
