Jean-Jacques Rousseau 1754

Discourse on Inequality

​

“Since these conveniences by becoming habitual had almost entirely ceased to be enjoyable, and at the same time degenerated into true needs, it became much more cruel to be deprived of them than to possess them was sweet, and men were unhappy to lose them without being happy to possess them.”

​

But as you pass more milestones, the true wisdom is gradually accepting that you will never reach a peak.
