Boredimanium

The human mind, regardless of race, gender, level of intelligence, needs entertainment, in whatever form each individual derives it from. Anything that stimulates our minds, and causes pleasure, no matter how little or how much. Which has led me to conclude why most relationships will fail. Romantic relationships, long-term friendly relationships, every relationship but, maybe, business relationships.

Now the reason is, because too much complacency bores the mind. As comedian Chris Rock once said "The only exciting relationships are BAD relationships". Not to mention humans primal urge to "spread the genetic seed". But that just pertains to romantic ones, obviously.

In just friendly relationships, I think that once you see someone as well below what you may thought of them, or lacking a certain "something". Whatever it is, it causes a wedge to develop. We've all felt it, at one time or another. Good friends, just drifting apart and no one knows why. Well, I know why. Boredom ensues. The relationship becomes stale. It happens to everyone. It can't be reversed, it can't be avoided, although in rare cases.

So, just what is the secret to a long and healthy relationship? I don't know yet. Maybe, I never will.
