Out with the old, in with the new??

Many of the times, when we see an item that we really like, we would find ways to have it. We would think about it, talk about it if ever there is a chance to other people about the item we fancy. In due time, after the long craving for it, it finally reaches to our hands.

We would care for the item, making sure that it is protected from harm, feels hurt when it actually it gets a little scratched, blaming ourselves for such carelessness, or even get mad with the people around us if they ever damage a little on the item.

As time goes, we care lesser on the item than we cared for during the earlier stages when the item was quite new. The concern or care of the item grows lesser. Not even bothered if it is dropped on the floor. By this time, the thought would be, “Well, if its broken, will get a new one.” It is true that the fact our interest of an item would not last, but will look for something new when one is bored over the old item.

So if we reflect the above analogy towards a couple, one chasing the other, making sure that one gets the other no matter what, love sparkles, full of passion and intense romance but in time when both are bored with each other, sparks fade, passion which drives both of them dissipates, and when there is nothing that binds them together, it breaks.

Like an item, how can we keep on using it and not get bored with it, which reflects on one person, how do we keep the love alive when things begin to get too routine, and then, there is nothing new for them. They talk lesser; see each other lesser, or even not doing things together.

Is it true that, by human nature, that we are always looking for something new, and hence keep changing partners? What would be the winning formula that we should be using to make the spark going on? Should trying something new all the time would work, but in the end, there is not going to be lots of things to try if we have exhausted all options of trying things new.

Would it be inevitable that we face the consequences of losing the other because there is nothing new in the relationship?
