Do you believe that there is no stronger feeling in the world than anticipation?

Now that we think about it, is the time an event happens bring emotions as strong as before it..the building up...the ascending of the mountain..when the climax, reaching the peak is important, but short-lived, while anticipation is long-lasting and builds over time? This can go both ways-positive and negative. Positive, anticipation of love or a coming event..when we anticipate something we feel like nothing can go wrong, when in all reality it does have a chance of going wrong. Part of this may be how we just take stuff for granted..when we achieve something we are not satisfied. This can also apply to purchases..when you see a new pair of shoes or a new game you become very excited at the possibility you can have it, because you think it will make you happy, when the thought of having the shoes actually makes you happier than the shoes themselves.
