Advertisers got it right. Our hearts seem to always seek what is new.
Yet as soon as we get the “new” it very quickly becomes old. It’s an endless cycle that gives the object/experience/person control over our thoughts and emotions, and in a way, our lives. Are we, as C.S. Lewis put it, “far too easily pleased?” Far too easily pleased and then far too easily displeased?
Could this perhaps mean that we were created with an insatiable desire for newness that can only be satisfied in relationship with a never-ending, infinite God?
