sometimes you make a revisit not because you particularly enjoy being at certain places, it could well be a strong dislike for being everywhere else within vicinity, or worse, you ran out of ideas.

how could anyone run out of ideas? but strangely, it happens all the time. because we stop exploring the possibility of new things, which dont have to be new-to-the world things, but just new-to-us things.

So why is that people as they age gradually stop asking who when what how why? Is this a natural thing to ensure human survival (we still dont know if knowing too much cause us our life) just like how children are born to pick up on whats dangerous and whats not just so they wont risk their own silly lives chewing on moth balls when you precisely told them not to? So why do we stop learning things beyond what ensures our survival? Why did that knowledge attainment curve slow down when there are infinite amount of things that we dont know? or did we just give up because we know what it isn't possible for us to attain that infinite amount in our life time? or were we made this way to ensure that there's no superior one-of-us who would ever ever know everything about this universe. or is this a limiting factor (another more obvious, age) carefully crafted to control the speed at which human civilisation develops?

we don't know, so we stopped asking.
