Monotony (Always the same)

[matrixmann]

How can someone feel so satisfied for his life to deal with only one certain topic over and over again - and never get tired of it?
What's the mechanics behind this?

How can someone deal only with one certain topic over and over, is it possible? I have a work now which is always changing into different activities, very occasionally I should do some routine for a week or so but anyway it is possible to do a pause for something else to do.
I don't know when I was working on a pharmaceutical plant I did or had to do a monkey's work for hours through days and nights but I wasn't reading or listening so many books as I was "struggling" there... I sometimes even miss for those stupid time spending - no money but no worries too - I was witnessing when very expensive drugs for tens of thousands dollars were flush to toilet cause the salaries there were so ridiculous that there were working people without any education presumably.

In my case, I refer to political things.
It's on so often...
Every day the same phrases, every day the same main topic to ramble about... And never anything changes about the content. About the message.
Every day the same message.
I can't get my head around how this can be so satisfying to repeat oneself over and over again... How this can be so satisying to aim for the cheer of the repetition of the same messages and phrases over and over again.
In particular, I find it boring. Unsatisfying in the intellectual meaning...

Yes, Russians politicians don't change much their talks too - they are telling about developing Russian economy for last decades without much changings while China has nearly got a leader of world economy, about the foreign policy our politicians are also telling one taught propaganda which suit everybody - USA and Western partners are to blame with everything - nothing to changes here too. Anyway Russia slowly is getting better as inside as outside so while be whining...? ;)

I don't even mean the politicians which are employed for that kind of activity...
More I'm tired of the common people and self-asserted "activists" or just people who deal with a certain topic from an own motivation.
No matter where you go, it always seems like you poke your head in a hornets' nest... One place it's about this topic, in another one it's about that, but never these seem to integrate other aspects which don't have anything to do with their topic primarily.
And - never both clubs ally with each other, combining their separate recognitions from their respective sector.

Instead, what you get to hear is the same basic message, the same rambling about bullshit over and over again...
And everyone of these places thinks he's found the philosopher's stone for the problems discussed in its sector.

Are you feeling a bit of Marx’s alienation of the worker? I sympathise.

More the alienation of self from the political scene, which seems to enjoy itself so incomprehensibly with just sticking with repeating the same phrases and basic message over and over again every day...
