Scientists have detected that every time an email arrives, or we get an RT, or a Facebook like, our bodies inject a tiny squirt of pleasure chemical (it’s like a mini crack-cocaine hit). So every buzz or beep notification creates a craving in our bodies for the squirt-hit. – David Murray [...]

It makes complete sense to me that our bodies give us a hit of pleasure when we see we have a message. Sometimes I have found myself feeling disappointed that no message has come for a while and it has made me ask, why do i feel that way? I think, like so many other sins, it stems from pride. Someone wanting to communicate something to me, needing something from me, feeds my seemingly insatiable need to be made to feel important. This reveals that I really don’t believe my identity and significance and joy comes from Christ alone, but I really hope to get that from being important to, and needed by other people.
