A person who cannot enjoy small things becomes expensive to satisfy.

If small pleasures do not register, satisfaction has to come from large ones, and large ones are rare, costly, and quick to normalize. That makes a life expensive to maintain in every sense, and the expense keeps rising because the threshold keeps moving. The problem is in the sensitivity, not the supply.

Deliberately spend attention on something minor and good this week. Coffee, weather, a short walk, a song. You are training the low end of the scale, which is where most of life actually takes place.
