New Things

New things are always novelties at first. When you first get a new haircut, you spend ages in front of the mirror. When you first get a new dishwasher, you use dishes just so you can wash them. And when you get a new car, you drive it everywhere, even places you would normally walk. But this excitement wears off quickly. Why do we get so worked up over new things? Why do we pay stacks of money for something that will eventually become outdated? Why do we get so excited? Why are new things such a big deal? Soon, we won't care anymore.
