or romance and boredom…
or rich and poor…
or fun and seriousness…
or creative and dull…
or success and failure…
are all things people use to make themselves feel something. Not all people swing through all of these, nor does everyone seek to swing back-and-forth in the same amplitudes, but rarely do you find someone who seeks stability in all these items. Instead we have romantics, gamblers, thrill seekers, artists, and achievement seekers.
You can understand someone better by the things they hold constant and the things the states they fluctuate between.
None of this is Right
