unsinkable Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 Because we let it. Would a positive spin on this question be: How does ritual/the familiar lead to contentment? Ignore me if this is not the direction you are going towards. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theYoungerMrsWarde Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 Because you find out all the (bad) things you didn't know about before. Because an annoying habit is okay now and then, but on a day to day basis it adds up and starts to grate on you. Because no on is perfect.

BMW Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 When we meet people, we oftentimes put on our best. I don't mean so much that we are insincere, but I think people tend to show part of who they are, not ALL of who they are. (not everyone in all circumstances, of course...) Then, as you become more familiar, you see more parts of that person. You are seen for more of who you are. This is one reason why some psychologists/professionals suggest knowing/dating someone for two years before getting married. A teacher isn't going to necessarily use the same language in class as she would in her own home (might swear if burnt in the kitchen or cut doing yard work... ). Peers in the workplace often behave according to their profession... with levels of professionalism... and might show more of who they are in other arenas. The more you become acquainted with someone, the less "enchanted" you will be... any other ideas out there??:bigear: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susan in TN Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 It doesn't. Contempt can breed when we begin to think of those we see every day as 'objects to be managed according to the direction we think our world should be spinning' rather than human souls that need to be loved and cared for.
