I Don't Like It Anymore

Mida's Law: Possession diminishes value of perception, immediately

Now I understand why not having something is still something to be thankful for. Our life's mechanism is to achieve our goals, may it be short or long termed. However, it is true that we lose that feeling of determination once we get it. Eventually, we shift our efforts to other priorities once we attain something. 

This is good in one aspect; we don't become stagnant and we keep on thriving for more. On the other hand, we take for granted the things we already have. Our past journey, little by little, becomes hazy and blurred. We dismiss the thought of its real value. 

Recently, I felt the lack of motivation in a sport I used to play in high school. I tried to excel in volleyball just to keep up with my friends' skills. They were really good, and there was just no place for a newbie performance. Now, I realized that I don't have the incentive to further my skills since it won't have any use to me now that I'm in college.

Good or bad? I can't tell. But one thing is for sure— inclinations fade. One way or another, there will come a time when we would say "I don't like it anymore". It's embedded in all of us. We are meant to break attachments that bind is with the world. Treasures, skills, and abilities— they are encompassed by entropy— they will soon degrade.
