In this fast-paced society, we find that people have different needs and pursuits. Dopamine and endorphins, two chemicals that play an important role in our lives. They not only affect our behavior and decisions, but also determine our social status and quality of life. Today, let's take a look at this cruel social reality: the poor are addicted to dopamine, and the rich are chasing endorphins.
First, let's understand the difference between dopamine and endorphins. Dopamine is a neurotransmitter that is primarily responsible for the brain's reward signals, and it is able to bring short-term pleasures, such as gambling, smoking, alcoholism, and other behaviors. For the poor, dopamine stimulation is able to bring a false sense of satisfaction, allowing them to temporarily forget about the stresses and difficulties in life.
Endorphins, on the other hand, are endogenous opioids, which are natural analgesics secreted by the brain and produce long-lasting pleasure. This pleasure is different from the stimulation of dopamine, it is deeper and longer-lasting. The pursuit of endorphins requires people to have higher self-control and goal orientation, and usually requires a certain amount of training and Xi to acquire.
In today's society, there is a stark contrast between the rich and the poor's pursuit of these two material things. Due to the stressful nature of their lives, poor people tend to indulge in the short-term pleasure that dopamine brings, which makes it difficult for them to make long-term progress in life. On the contrary, the wealthy pay more attention to the pursuit of endorphins. Through continuous learning, Xi growth and progress, they achieve self-worth and inner satisfaction.
Of course, this doesn't mean that the poor can't pursue endorphins. Everyone has the opportunity to achieve lasting pleasure through hard work and training. However, for the poor, it takes more effort and persistence to get rid of dopamine.
In today's society, we need to recognize this harsh reality: the poor are addicted to dopamine, and the rich are after endorphins. However, we can also change our destiny through our own efforts and perseverance. Let's work together to pursue the pleasure of endorphins and create a better future!
