> I find this hard to believe. Are you not surprised by traveling? Art? dmt experiences?

Those are the lightweights, largely because they are also manufactured experiences:

- Traveling: Whoa, in that other country, people are speaking a different language, have different customs, and have different values? Who could have known!

- Art: Sure, art can evoke some feelings, but rarely is it earthshattering

- Drugs: Okay, that I don't know - and don't care for

The bigger things are other life events, like change in relationships, change in worklife, moving places, friends and family getting ill or worse. Sure, those will never be easy, but the more you go through them the better you know that "this too shall pass" and how to deal with it.
