It is hard to abandon things we like (=our happiness). But when we have enough of we like, we may experiment with 'new' things. When we realize that those things are what they are. It is our attachment to them that makes big different to us - that when we can loosen ourselves and watch from any distance with just awareness but not 'ours' or 'theirs'.

I like the way you spell 'idiots' -- with full Thai flavours 'E' ;-)
