Do we take a place for granted because we are exposed to it
every day? Yes. But it is not as straightforward as a simple loss of
appreciation; I believe that it is because our perspective shifts.
As we adjust
to a new place we become more comfortable and in doing so our initial
observations of amazement soften. The crystal clear waters that filled us with
astonishment become our daily surroundings, the star studded night sky,
untainted with pollution is just the view through the window for a few seconds
before we pull the curtains across and shut it out. We lose our initial
gratitude for the place. It has not changed; it is just as beautiful as it
seemed the first time that we saw it. We’ve changed, our perspective has
shifted.
