1/🧵: Humans did not evolve in conditions where being easily content was a survival trait. It was better to get a little restless and start looking for things to improve and food to store than to sit around feeling nice.
Your mind does not exist to make you feel good. It has evolved to help you survive in extreme conditions.
Calm, content, peace of mind, etc are not the default normal state of a human being. Periodically rising restlessness, that pushes us to Do Something is what is "normal".
