There is no hierarchy to suffering
WH Auden:
About suffering they were never wrong,
The Old Masters: how well they understood
Its human position; how it takes place
While someone else is eating or opening a window or just walking dully along
Nice one. Should have used it!
Condensed gold !
🙏

Great piece, thank you. The Studio episode (which I haven't seen) reminded me a bit of this comedy sketch from the UK: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3PGk7JErGrA. The doctor and the ice cream taste talk about their days.
I’m already subscribed. Do I still get a goat?
The technical term is "hedonic adaptation".
