Dissatisfaction is a driving force for human progress as much as it is for its flaws. When unfocused, we often try to alleviate the discomfort of not knowing what to do. The urge to relieve discomfort is the primary cause of all our behavior, while everything else is a secondary cause. Even when we think we are pursuing happiness, we are motivated by the desire to free ourselves from the pain of longing. Most people do not want to admit that distraction is always an unhealthy escape from reality. It is crucial to differentiate between distractions and traction.
