The question says it all. Human emotions (sadness, grief, happiness, etc.) can be very strong, but they also “fade away” over time. We explicitly remember all the details surrounding the emotion, but the emotion itself isn’t felt any more. What really happens in our brains to make this happen?
In: Biology
Grief is a helpless situation, the brain ‘adapts/accepts’ since it has no way of doing anything about it. It has no content to keep worrying, as the situation cannot be otherwise.
As for other emotions, they cannot be permanent, you get what you want, you are happy, you don’t get what you want, you are sad. You are always wanting new things and so the old emotions you felt after getting or not getting what you want are replaced by new emotions from the new wants.
