"In the 1970s, researchers followed people who'd won the lottery and found that a year after they'd hit the jackpot, they were no happier than the people who didn't. They called it hedonic adaptation, which suggests that we each have a baseline level of happiness. No matter what happens, good or bad, the effect on our happiness is only temporary and we tend to rebound to our baseline level."

To feel is to be alive. Sometimes the feelings go away, they are pushed aside, or they simply disappear for a while. But what happens when they do not come back?
In a desperate attempt to feel anything man can do strange things, stupid things, things that might be detrimental to one's being.
How do we get the "feeling" back.. that little thing that lives inside us...Should we just relax and be.. and wait for it to come back or should we do anything that we can?
Some say that being in love makes you alive.. that it is the meaning of our lives.. I used to believe in that.
Then after many disappointments I discovered that we can only live in a moment, in today. There is nothing but present in which we need to emerse ourselves, and enjoy or just be as much as we can.
But then even the moment lost its soul...
What is left if not now?
