Pinnacles loomed within reach. Beasts were tame, bullies timid, wagging tongues all tied into knots, and in the palm of my hand glistened the end of a glorious rainbow.

We can call this the progress principle: Pleasure comes more from making progress toward goals than from achieving them. — Jonathan Haidt
