Maybe more like bipolaresque addictiveness together with substance-abuse or just the addictiveness to have, see/hear/feel and do what you don't, impulsively? So, simply put, the other way round, or call it BP light.

Basically, naturally, intuitively, we make things more extreme, including our BP. Reasonably, many try to be boring. We need to find the right balance or we keep going from one extreme to the other: intuition/emotion and reason.

Mania kills cells. Brain cells die. Memories become more reduced conceptually, making more efficient use of limited means. Memories shape our reality.

It causes instability, changeability. Fearing that will leave an emptiness between pain and joy and a greater divide.
