Good grief, how many vices fall into this category?
What category?
The category of diminishing marginal utility.
This is where “more” – eventually means “less.”
I am not even sure I can count them all.
- Lust
- Alcoholism
- Gluttony
- Greed
That at least gets you started.
An ever increasing craving for an ever diminishing pleasure is the formula.
–C.S. Lewis, The Screwtape Letters
