Disappearing Constants
Everything comes with an expiry date. Most things in life are like medicines that turn poisonous over time. Excitement turns into ennui. Ennui becomes indifference. Novelty turns into routine which morphs into boredom. Knowledge turns into memory. Memories are forgotten. Intensity turns into weariness that slowly degenrates into inertia. Ambition turns into achievement. Achievement becomes mundane. Love turns into pain. Pain is replaced by numbness.

What you are not considering is boredom giving way to excitement back again, which is just as real and common place as the other way around. Perhaps we don't notice it in all the excitement :-)

"Knowledge turns into memory."

I LOVE this post. Simply superb. I watched a movie recently in which a dialogue was - Times ruins everything. Your post describes just that.
