Until you have, or have nearly, run the full gamut of life excitements and experiences, you may never know that life is full of repetitions!
Yes, even majority of creations and their dynamics are rotatory in nature. That is why those who are versed in science and technology talk of cycles.
Such cycles refer to the natural coming and going of the same things, may be seemingly modified.
As researched and revealed, you have water cycle, air cycle, vegetative cycle, animalistic cycles or mutations and even reincarnations!
In this mysterious rotation, things already used and probably polluted, pass through refinement and redefinition, and return after recycled!
Apart from these things of heavier matters and deeper mysteries, repetitions also occur in other areas of life.
The older and mature you get, the least excited you become about many things. Not that those things have lost their relative lustre and charm, but you are no longer moved by them.
By all logical mathematics, your past repeated contact with and probably usage of them have created inevitable clog of monotony! Therefore, the more future times of contact and probable usages pass by, the less excited you become about them!
With such repetitive syndrome, you eventually become hardened towards them . In consequence, your former pot of interest and excitement about them has become shattered by time and age!
For instance, there can hardly be the type of a masquerade that can frighten those in their sixties! Not that such a masquerade has lost its formdability and other frightening paraphernalia.
Only that the advanced ages in its beholders has rendered all its legendary repetitive!
Again, there used to be Ajasco dancers employed by marketers to draw spectators in the olden days. Any market they had come to sell their products, those Ajasco dancers would run round into the market areas and draw spectators to where their vehicles were packed.
Before long, people would fill every space to watch. The Ajasco dancers would be dancing to, mostly the fast Congo music that would be playing.
Such marketing strategy can hardly excite somebody in his sixties or seventies now.
To such a one, such strategy is repetitive of the methods of the sixties and seventies. Therefore, he may not bulge, let alone rush to see what may be going on.
That is why it is hard to catch an old bird with an old trick. To the bird, the gimmick is repetitive and may not excite anymore.
Then, think of the styles of haircut worn by the youths of this generation. There may be some variations and changes in names as what used to obtain. However, those who followed hair fashions during the seventies through eighties, can still identify similar styles they barbed to cruise around!
There used to be such hair styles like Barry-white, Punk, Repacker Junior, Grace Jones, Shallamer, Raphael Cameroon etc.
Come to the styles of trousers and shoes worn with much pride during the seventies and eighties.
For trousers, there were bongos, bougle boys jeans, stretched jeans etc
For shoes, there were five-layers heels, stellato pun, and many more.
The wear fashions I enumerated were mainly for men. Even at that, the list was not exhaustive.
Nevertheless, should any of those fashions reformed and resurfaced to trend in subsequent generations, it will only appear repetitive to those of the preceding generation!
This illustrative enumerations could continue to still add areas to prove that life is replete with repetitions.
However, let the much pointed out suffice. A book that can teach good wisdom must not fill a library!
