Ambivalence is the itemization of tentative bliss, and knowledge is the embodiment of a restrictive certainty of events. Once we know the rules of a game it loses its longevity, and when you beat it you have no desire to play it again. The discovery is gone and the uncertain mindset of potential is exposed as the illusion we so much time to ratify.
What changes is experience. Events stay the same, locked in cyclical motion, but man forgets and dies. We are molded to feel loss of opportunity, though the reality is that there was never another course of actions on can take. Acknowledge that what differentiates man from his competitors is that he is the catalyst of change in his environment, rather than his environment being the catalyst of change within him. Thusly, he has become so adaptive he stagnates and worries about possibilities beyond his control.
