Feed a man bread everyday and he hates you,
Starve him for a month and he loves you the day you finally feed him;
in psychology they call this the “baseline trap”.

Feelings aren’t based on what’s given, they’re based on the distance from the expectation.
Raise the bar and you become a slave to... it. The better you are at something, the more dangerous it becomes to dissapoint.

If Steph Curry drops 20 points, it is underwhelming. If a bench player does the same, it’s a career night.
