Human apatite for adjustment

In my observation, we adjust super quickly relatively on life altering events. On that next big thing, death of someone close by, big loss, big gain. lets explore by examples -

Covid or any other breaking news effect. How it starts with bang, goes slow as adjustment happens, and looses its charm as time goes by. We want things normalized, and as they say “life goes on”. As we can already see how quickly we all had adjusted kids doing school from home, we all working from home, ordering food or groceries online, doing marriage, funeral, birthdays and all kind of events on zoom.

Lets for sake of imagination, if dinosaur egg is found today somewhere on earth, first couple weeks or months story will run on front page, then some company or country try to make acquisition on it, Disney like company opens the jurassic park and people are no longer fearful, instead pay double dollar to visit and watch it. Or for matter of fact, if alien is found, how easy people will get adjusted and normalize the change. It will only be news for sometime and we all will adjust to the new normal, and capitalize on every opportunity.
