Have you seen that part in "What the Bleep Do We Know" where they talk about emotions as actual physically addictive chemicals? Interesting idea, even if it's just a metaphor.
People also compare themselves to their immediate surroundings, they see others suffering on the news, on the web, in their personal lives and accept that as normal or at least an acceptable way to exist.

Often also, the human bean gets all carried away with emotion, like it's candy and consciousness is just sitting there shaking it's head while avatar goes berserk.

That's why now is more important than anything, because it's everything and the only thing.
