Why is it that when you spend an excessive amount of time on one subject, it begins to lessen the feeling of reality that you once experienced from that subject?
For example, I may love a movie, a band, or even a food... ok let's stick with movie for the sake of simplicity. However, if I research all the meanings behind it, and watch it over and over and over again, and spend time reading the original story in the book that it was made from, and learn about the author's life... by the end of it, I end up feeling less attracted to it than I did in the first place. It has lost its excitement to me.Why is that?

Nah. I think it's the same sensation as eating too much fudge.
