"私たちは新しい感覚を渇望しますが、すぐにそれに無関心になります。昨日の驚きは今日の普通の出来事です。"
— Nikola Tesla
Simplified Meaning:
Humans often seek new experiences and excitement, but we quickly get used to them and don't find them special anymore. For example, when you get a new phone, it feels amazing at first. You spend hours exploring its features and feeling excited. But after a few weeks, it becomes just another part of your life. The same thing happens with travel—going to a new city might be thrilling, but after living there for a while, it feels normal. This way of getting used to things means that what once amazed us no longer does. To keep appreciating life, it's helpful to stay curious and grateful, recognizing the specialness in what we already have.
