"Yes. Dissatisfaction is part of our nature.
I think that in V.C.B. Woody Allen has hit on an unpleasant reality, one which few artists dare to expose and a message which the majority of people do not want to hear: love is fleeting and can never maintain its romantic, frenzied peak.
Sure, you can love for a long time but it's impossible to love passionately for extended periods. But that's one of the reasons we enjoy love - it's ephemeral quality is one of the main pleasures of being in love. It's the same as anything.
Sure, I'd like to eat chocolate cake for every meal but put me on a straight diet of dessert and I'd be grabbing for a plain crust of white bread by the end of the week.
That also holds true for blazing, fierce love. No matter how hot the fires of desire, we eventually need the heat turned down lest it burn us up or, even worse, we grow bored of the intensity. Any routine, no matter how passionate, becomes just that: a groove from which we eventually look to escape. "
