Generally we live to enjoy ourselves. If there isn't something to stimulate us we may experience depression.
Now - I expect we are all familiar with the song speaking of Jesus a man of sorrows, tears & agony. In the next breath we sing 'to be like Jesus...'
Consider - are we worshipping a God of our own imagination (remember - gift and calling are without repentance - so we can't rely on emotional experiences)?
If we do desire to be like Jesus it must be His doing and not an intellectual experience.
