But really, why is it important for us what exactly we eat, which partners we choose and whose autograph or portrait we insert into the frame?
Paul Bloom, a cognitive psychologist and professor at Yale University (USA), believes that most pleasures come from early childhood and are limited. For example, if in childhood “train” meant “safety, family, fun, relaxation” for us, then we will like trains, but if “separation, boredom, prohibitions”, then we will not. But we can create new forms of pleasure by remembering that there are only seven notes, only three primary colors, and the number of variations is inexhaustible.
