Xin QijiThis poem describes the different mentality of teenagers and middle-aged people:
Young people don’t know the feeling of sorrow and fall in love with the upper floors. Falling in love with the upper floors, I force myself to express my sorrow in order to compose new words.
Now that I have experienced all the sorrow, I still want to stop talking. He was about to give up, but said, "It's a cool autumn day."
The joys and sorrows of teenagers are completely different from those of middle-aged people, because their experiences are different and their mentality is also different.
When we reach middle age, we discover that young people only know dopamine , while middle-aged people only know endorphins . Why does
say this?
Children like sugar-substitute drinks and milk tea, but middle-aged people prefer coffee and bitter tea.
Eating desserts can make people feel happy and release dopamine in the brain, and dopamine can be addictive, so we see many children enjoying drinking drinks and milk tea.
Drinking coffee and tea makes people feel bitter. Why do middle-aged people also feel relaxed and happy, seem to be enjoying themselves, and can also become addicted?
If everyone understands the operating mechanism of endorphins, this problem can be easily solved.
Endorphin is equivalent to a natural analgesic. It has a compensation mechanism to relieve people's pain while making people feel comfortable and happy.
For example, if you run long distances, exercise, or read a book, the process is very painful, but afterward, your body will secrete endorphins to compensate you, making you feel happy, satisfied, and accomplished.
To put it simply, dopamine makes people enjoy themselves immediately and is easily addictive; endorphins make people delay gratification and is also easy to become addicted.
This is the main reason why the strong are getting stronger, working harder and better, and the weak are becoming more and more greedy for pleasure, lazier and weaker.
When a person becomes decadent, it is often because he is addicted to the easy-to-obtain dopamine happiness and cannot extricate himself.
For example, if you watch short videos, play games, eat all kinds of junk food, and drink refreshing drinks like milk tea every day, if you don’t become decadent, you will become decadent, and if your body doesn’t collapse, you will collapse.
Most of the middle-aged people are married and starting a business. They are less impulsive and childish and more responsible. At the same time, they have been in the society for many years and have worked hard to create a small sky of their own. They know well that "after the storm, there is a rainbow." " principle, so they like to remember the bitter and think of the sweet, and like to constantly taste the "bitter" taste in life, but they feel sweet in their hearts.
When middle-aged people drink tea and chat with friends, they laugh and talk about past successes and failures; although the drink tastes bitter, the brain helps secrete endorphins, and they feel very satisfied and have a sense of accomplishment;
中When a young person drinks a cup of coffee while working, although the drink is bitter, the endorphins compensate for it with a sense of pleasure, which seems to be a kind of affirmation and encouragement to him, and constantly hints to him: if you eat the most bitter things, you will be better. Be a master to others.
This is the psychological reason why middle-aged people are becoming more and more keen on drinking coffee and tea!
