A first experience is like discovering a new route to your favorite spot. You may take it again, because it saves you time. You may never take it again because, it takes you longer to get to your destination. On the other hand, you may decide to take it occasionally . But try as may, you cannot
honestly say, " I have never taken this route before", it will never be new to you again.
Our first experiences may evoke fond memories or not, but they are not always totally forgotten. Why do you think? Is it because of the feelings of expectation, and sometimes anxiety that precede them? Or perhaps it is the excitement that comes from exploring the unknown?
Some people get so caught up in trying to recapture the "magic " they are convinced happened the first time. They fail to realize, that in order to do that, they need a time machine. Hopefully a time machine will take them back to that exact moment, impossible? At best, it can only be LIKE the first time, a comparison, It can never be the FIRST time.
So, instead of spending all that time and effort on a comparison, why don't you invest in that unique 2nd, 3rd, 4th.. or even 1 millionth time experience?
....... "No one can possibly know what is about to happen: it is happening, each time, for the first time, for the only time".
