Knowledge !

I have moved recently to a new job and to a new place. It is two weeks since I had come here. Today, I had a flash of thought between the difference in my feelings about the new place when I joined and now. To put down in words,

- When I first came here, I had seen only a part of the place and did not know exactly how big or how small it is and I was quite anxious and apprehensive. I was also eager and curious at the same tme to explore the unknown and it was very interesting. Now that, having got familiar with the place, I dont have anymore of those anxieties. And at the same time, that curious enthusiasm is also gone. I was wondering that this wouldbe the case with any new change that happen in our life. Be it a new place, or a new job, or a new person, it is all the same.

I was wondering, that when I married my husband, I remember having a similar state of mind. The initial charm that happens in a relationship is mainly because of the curiosity to know the unknown and when all is know, it vanishes. (I wonder this is why Bala is very secretive in letting to know him fully).
On the other hand, getting to know one clearly, one lose all the anxieties and apprehensions about the relationship, and it becomes easy to handle and is not a stress anymore. So, looks like knowledge is double-edged. It takes away the insecure feeling along with the curiosity and the score is levelled.
