I'm a bit confused by this word salad. The inital analogy made some sense about complexcity vs simplicity, but you lost me with the enjoying food with opiods? That part didn't seem to tie to the initial premise, and the conclusion that contentness with one's starting lot in life superceeds the reward of pursuing a goal and achieving it is quite a claom? I mean there's something to be said of making sure to pay attention to the journey and not missing the forest through the trees, but just saying that complacency beats pursuit is a wild thing to me.

I made a comparison by temporarily feel good and long term feeling of well being (the neurotransmitters vs oxytocin). Then I thought, hmm but with this analogy you could kinda get store bought oxytocin in the form of opiods, buy I can't recommend that so that's why I typed the whole momma's food bit.

Its true and it all kinda works this way buy I get your confusion
