Let ’ s think of another example , like opening presents . The time before we get the presents can make us feel happy as we are excitedly looking forward to opening them . When the special day arrives , actually opening presents can make us very happy . We can also get lots of joy from our presents afterwards . For example playing with them , thanking people for them , and showing people our presents can be fun and make us happy .
However , the time comes when all our presents are open — we cannot keep opening presents forever or have a present every day ( if we did we wouldn ’ t find it exciting anymore ).
After a while the happiness might start to wear off as we get used to our presents or we stop using / wearing them . We are often not as excited about the presents once we have had them for a long time .
Happiness , you see , is much more than just getting and having stuff .
