That’s silly, Marianna. You mean you’ve never experienced enjoying something again after an age of indifference? even your analogy of ‘vodka and water’ seems flawed to me. When it’s a really hot day, and I haven’t drunk for ages, I don’t think I could ever not enjoy feeling water run down my throat. But I’m probably stretching your analogy too far. I don’t see that this musing could possibly apply to everyone. Have you never gone somewhere you’ve been a thousand times, and suddenly something in you opens up, like brushing away cobwebs, and it all looks as beautiful as the first time you saw it? I hope you have. It’s a wonderful feeling. A very hopeful one.
I think you’re missing the point. Everything fades. I’m not talking about basic needs like drinking water on a hot day. Every human being will be thirsty after not drinking for a prolonged period. What I’m talking about is how everything seems to fade the more you do it. Have you ever taken an economics class? The law of diminishing returns?
I wrote this when I was thinking about when I had my first beer, and I thought it was so gross. But then I had a few more and it didn’t taste like anything. And then I realized that happens a lot.
Also I want to point out the extremely misguided sentence: “I don’t see that this musing could possibly apply to everyone.” I don’t write so that it applies to everyone. I don’t write so that it applies to anyone but some part of myself.
