So for many dramas (lifetimes), we are fine learning and expanding (and contracting) little by little, but eventually all the desires (of physical realm) are found to NOT quench our YEARNING -- so we seek to fulfill our yearning.
We find ourselves overwhelmed by all the endless chatter and drama. As we seek, we commonly will attempt to still all the noise "of the crazy goings on of the world". Now we will begin to see that the cognitive mind (sometimes illustrated as 'monkey mind'), enjoys variety - and it does NOT discriminate on quality or what is flowing... it just likes variety, it doesn't care what is flowing thru. So seems our first step (over and over) is to still the restless mind (oscillations) that stir up mud in lake of interiorized vision -- to let mud settle.
So many words, wonder if we comminicate any value... oh well, travel along together we shall... pranams my dear friends,

i find it important to be aware of the variety that you speak of. That is; since we do not discriminate on what is flowing thru our minds we are victims of an endless procession of thoughts that invades our consciousness. We seem to need stimulation and variety often keeps the mind going and lost in thought. We attempt to fill the void; the deep emptiness that we find surrounding us when we are not in touch with any inner dimensions. As a consequence it has been my experience that we get ourselves into a search for variety and stimulation with the outside world to keep 'interested' and renewed.This is a type of pseudo longing that seeks ever new joy which is a manifestation of the souls qualities. It ends up in a spiral of despair and agitation because there are unforseen snares that rob us of our peace.
