“By nature, men love newfangledness”
— Geoffrey Chaucer
Simplified Meaning:
People naturally enjoy new and exciting things. Think about children playing with toys – even if they have many at home, they are often drawn to the newest toy they see. In the same way, adults are often attracted to the latest gadgets, fashion trends, or ideas. This desire for novelty makes life interesting and can lead to innovation, as we keep looking for better ways to do things. However, it can also mean we sometimes overlook the value of the familiar and what already works well. By recognizing this tendency, we can balance our curiosity with appreciation for what has been dependable in our lives.
