“The spotlight wears people out, puts them in a slump. Those who sped up too much from the beginning, without a gradual process of growth and change, become unhappy in the end, and at times, collapse to the point where they can’t make a comeback. They may just use up their happiness in advance, like an advanced salary. If there’s a fixed amount of happiness allotted each person, and the happiness could be allocated according to one’s will, would it be better to place it early on in life, or later?”
