nothing lasts, so why chase it?

hey there, here i jst want to share abt something that always coming up in my mind. why do people seek temporary pleasure?? people chase love, happiness, excitement, basically everything, just to feel something for a moment? that's kinda weird. but i'm more talking about people who date just to feel something, who do drugs, who smoke, who buy stuff they don’t even need. i jst don’t get it.

why do people love buying new things? yeah i get it, u feel happy after u get what u want. but then? after a while, it gets old, and u stop caring about it. it just sits there collecting dust. same thing with relationships. at first, it’s all fun and exciting. u meet someone, u fall for them, everything feels amazing. u spend time together, make memories, share laughs. but then? one day, u wake up and realize the feelings aren’t as strong anymore. the excitement fades, boredom, and suddenly, breaking up feels like the only option. it's like people only want the thrill and not the commitment. because love can burn like a cigarette, its quick, its intense, but fading just as fast.

and smoking? dude, maybe it looks cool at first. u try it, u cough, but then that feelings from the nicotine hits, and suddenly, u wanna do it again.. and again. u start telling urself it's just for fun, just to feel something. but before u know it, it’s not fun anymore. it’s a habit. an addiction. and guess what’s waiting for u at the end of that road? a frickin lung cancer. health problems. regret.all for what? just to chase a feeling that never lasts?

same with drugs. people start because they’re curious, or they just wanna escape reality for a bit. one high turns into another, and before they know it, they’re stuck in a cycle, needing more and more just to feel "okay". and then what? their body gives out, their life spirals, and it all ends in nothing. was it worth it?so what’s the point? what’s the point of chasing something that was never meant to last??? i think about this a lot. how do u find happiness that doesn’t just fade away?? how do u feel at peace forever?? i don’t think there’s an answer. maybe it’s impossible. and yeah, i do stuff to distract myself too, like playing games, scrolling through my phone for some temporary entertainment. but at the end of the day, i still wonder. what's the actual point of it?
