The Importance of Contrasts in Happiness
Contrasts play a vital role in happiness, as seen in stories like Ernest Shackleton's crew finding immense joy in basic comforts after enduring extreme hardships in Antarctica. The contrast between one's current situation and past difficulties often brings the greatest happiness. This concept extends to everyday experiences where simple pleasures, like a glass of tap water when thirsty, amplify happiness due to the stark contrast.
