People tire eventually if too much of most anything. Perhaps not money.
Why don't we tire of music?
So, there’s a lot of smart folk’s on this site, and I’ve been wondering why people never grow tired of listening to music. For example, we don’t read the same book over and over, nor do we watch the same TV show or movie over and over. But, we never get tired of listening to the same music. Why is this? What is it in our mentally that allows this to happen? Just curious... Thanks!

mapman,
Good point. I suffer from some form of greed myself. It is the buying reflex to having something that I don't really need. The internet promotes this by some exponential factor. Used to be that you might actually have to walk to the store and then decide if what oyu couldn't live without could be carried back home. It was that pause of reality or beginning of it that changed your mind after. Maybe there is a bargain in the next isle. |
My best friend’s wife watched "Karate Kid" dozens of times over the course of her life. "Sound of Music", too. My wife is stuck on "Avatar", both versions. Which is to say I don’t buy your basic premise. Movies, static art forms of all kinds, and books can be as much of a repetitive obsession as music. |
