There are two kinds of pleasures:
Short term - False pleasure
Long term - True satisfaction
The instant gratifications, short term, is when you CONSUME while delayed gratification, long term, is when you CREATE.
Consumption only lights up your dopamine centre temporally and makes you want more and more. Your dopamine receptors get less and less sensitive to the external stimuli → leading you to need bigger and bigger does to get the same dopamine hit.
Once the dopamine spike wears off you don't feel so good. This is why we call it false pleasure.
