Interval II: I like Pie

Just watched The Harvard Man. That was quite an experience. Apart from freaking me out about LSD and regardless of the poor technical aspects of the film, I was really intrigued by all the philosophy they went into. From time to time, I watch a film and it really strikes a chord of sorts with me. The sad thing is - like the Romantics found out - no amount of revisiting it can induce the same feeling of the sublime as the original experience did.

I get that with music that I love, films that I see and things I do. In simple terms, nothing is ever as good as the first time you try it. This might add some insight into addictive behaviour beyond the physical dependency - come to think of it, this may be the reason excitement over porn fades so quickly. It seems a lot like a yearning that tends towards a spiritual dependency. A need to feel that same feeling no matter how you find it. I'm not at all agreeing with the addict's use of this philosophy but I can understand the point of view.

I'm sorry if this is rambling. It's moments like this that inspired me to start Divination - although at the rate I'm going, Procrastination is a more fitting title.
