While reading an article on 'Microeconomics', I came
across this:
"Individuals make decisions based on the concept of
utility. In other words, the decision made by the individual is supposed to
increase that individual's happiness or satisfaction."
Please note The words "supposed to".
Once when I was a school going kid, I wanted a particular
book of puzzles. I had thought if I get it, that's it, then I don't want
anything else. I will be happy forever, just that I have to get it. I got it.
Then I thought the same thing about Atlas book. I got it. And then ..the list
continued.
You too must have got things, you once wished for. Did they
give the amount of happiness, you had thought they would, and in case they did,
for how much duration did that happiness last?
PS. My current wish is to play Battlefield 3.
