I read somewhere that there are only two real motivators in life –

avoid pain
gain pleasure

the power of avoiding pain is far, far greater than the power of gaining pleasure – so people will continue over-eating/not saving because they wish to avoid the short-term pain of “feeling hungry” or “not being a consumer” – this short term pleasure though ultimately leads to long term pain.

I never comment on anything, but wow, this is great. I think the problem is that people today are too focused on things being "fast" and "instant"... from the ever-convenient ATMs to ramen noodles... neither of which are too healthy! "Miracle" lose-20-lbs in 1-week diets, "get rich quick" scams... all "instant" transformations without any real gratification in the end. Slow it down and do it right... it'll take time, but it'll work. Young people today as a whole (I am one, by the way, but I hope I'm an exception to the rule) are ridiculously short-sightedly self-serving. Thanks for this post, I'm afraid your good sense is rare... Just wanted to say how much I love this. I never comment on anything, but wow, this is great.
