When the novelty fades

When the novelty fades,
What once was beautiful fades to nothingness,
The eye grows weary of sights worth a hundred sunsets,
The heart bores of what once brought joy and gladness.


Why do people so quickly lose interest in what once so easily captured their attention. Things seldom give us that sense of wonder that they used to give at first sight.
Love at first sight? Will it last after the hundredth stare of the thousandth glare?
In Malaysia the official term would be "First World Infrastructure, Third World Mentality". Brand new buildings don't stay brand new for very long. Brand new facilities don't stay brand new for very long.
Even in the church...the greatest Story ever told, the greatest love ever shown... does it still give the sense of wonder and amazement it gave when we first used to give..
Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound...does it still sound as sweet as it did the first time u felt or heard it?

When the novelty fades.
