Re: Agreed, but…

Where you listen, who you listen with, why you're listening are all important and definitely affect your experience.

A lot of what we do when we listen, things like what we listen for and how we listen to them, are at least to some degree learned; maybe even totally learned in some cases. We 'develop a taste' for certain things and some of those things are more important to us than others. Once something becomes important to us, it's hard to give it up. On the other hand, it's much easier to give up things that aren't really important to us.

Unfortunately we sometimes only find out what's really important to us when we have to give it up for some reason.

But as far as giving important things up goes, I think the old line from a song sums it up nicely: "How you going to keep them down on the farm after they've seen Paris?" Once we get used to something new, we don't want to go back to what we had before that.
