I also think there's a sense in which it's like it feels a little weird to people.
If I tell you that when the towels come out of the dryer and they're all warm and fluffy and soft, that that's delightful, that I love that.
you would kind of nod probably and say, yeah, that makes sense.
Who doesn't like a nice, warm, clean towel?
But unless we really identify it and talk about it and make it feel a little more normal than it is, it's not automatically something that we would ponder.
Whereas if I tell you that getting on with that of finding more time in my life so I can spend time with my kids or I can overwork at my job even more so I can get that promotion, that's sort of socially acceptable.
So there's also a sense, in other words, in which gratification has become
kind of a social oddity.
We have to make it more normal again.
I think the best way to do that is just to talk about it, to surface those things, to tell people about them.
And they're probably experiencing the same delight you are, but maybe they're embarrassed to admit it.
Yeah.
And you can print it out.
Even when you print it out, though, the piece of printer paper you get it on is different from that printed cardstock.
And you kind of hold it and fidget with it in line in your hands, and you'd bend it a little bit.
And it would give you something to do, but it would also sort of just...
give you some kind of novel contact with the world that you wouldn't have had otherwise.
I, a concert tickets were always like this for me, you know, like you'd go and you get tickets to a show and then you'd be worried about losing them until you tape them to the back of the cabinet or you'd sort of check three times that they're in your jacket pocket before you leave the
for the theater and all of that, it felt like nervousness, but it was also delight in this sort of like part of the experience you were about to have at the show.
That's why you might like take a program.
