We must come to terms with the fact that we will not be fully satisfied with instant pleasure. Pleasures like fast food at the touch of button delivered to your door with the only effort required being the walk from the couch to the front door, social media in which entertainment and novelty is provided in abundance just by swiping your finger on a screen, binge-watching television, pornography and ‘hook-ups,’ shopping in which a reward is only a click away. All of these pleasures can be rewarding and used in moderation but the problem is that we expect the reward before we’ve put in any work.
