By victory, I mean important stuffs or first steps in life that feel good and meaningful :
- having good grades as a student
- getting diplomas, having the feeling you're going somewhere
- first kiss and GF (or you at least, you still have hope you'll get to this point)
- learning how to drive and get your first car ...
And other things. All those stuffs require skills that make you a more complete person as time goes by.
But, at some point, once you became some wageslave among the mass of wageslaves, you don't have any of those brand new stuffs left to have dopamin shoot from time to time. You just work, sleep, repeat. There's no goal to look up to, you don't feel the same primal pleasure at doing new things, enjoying activities for the first time.
You already know what you like, what you don't like. The world gets boring, the magic is gone. There's no hope. It's over. And do you remember the part about GF and first kiss ? Never began.
