What is a peak-experience? How many people actually have one, and how do they change when it happens?
These are important questions, because many people go through life without finding out. Are they deprived and does it matter? Are they any less human because of this lack?
Most of us experience many “highs,” and life isn’t much fun without them. Some of us get addicted to the succession of highs and kicks. It’s why many people live for the weekend, when pressures of life are lightened by partying. We derive considerable pleasure from drinking, over-eating and having a "good time."
The average party-animal does not realize that at some point the highs come to an end, and that life only has a certain amount of new pleasures to bestow. It’s a startling realization to those under the age of thirty. It is nonetheless true. After a point one must generate their pleasures from within, through intellectual, creative and spiritual interests. Superficial episodic types rarely make the shift, and soon become disconsolate when old pastimes cease being as exciting as before. It’s not long before this type slides into depression. |
