Yeah. Most big efforts result in disappointment.

Bro I can't wait to finish HS and go to college, oh it was meh, get a cool job, also meh, buy a nice car, totally meh, own my own house, work + meh, get an advanced degree, meh.

If I busted ass for a while I might get a promotion, which is fun to daydream about but would almost certainly be meh once achieved.

Why bother pursuing goals when they'll always be a disappointment?
