The world tells us the lie that we can achieve happiness and pleasure all the time.  And so when we feel uncomfortable or negative emotions, we quickly jump to something that will distract us or push away the negative emotions.

We also do this to our children, teaching them how to cope with negative feelings by using something else to distract them rather than feeling the negative feelings.
