“Happiness isn't good enough for me! I demand euphoria!”
— Bill Watterson
Simplified Meaning:
Wanting more than just being happy means craving an intense feeling of joy. Imagine eating a piece of chocolate cake. You might be happy because it tastes good, but imagine that feeling multiplied – your taste buds dancing and feeling overjoyed with each bite. That's euphoria. In real life, consider someone who loves running. They might feel content after a good jog (that's happiness), but during a race when the crowd cheers and they cross the finish line first, they feel an overwhelming surge of excitement and pride. That's euphoria. People might seek intense experiences instead of just feeling content day-to-day. They could go on thrilling adventures, aim for high achievements, or chase dreams passionately. It’s about wanting the highest form of joy, not just the simple pleasures. Wanting more can drive people to push their limits and seek extraordinary experiences in their lives.
