Riding around on the brightly painted carousel horse can seem a lot of fun the first time you go round. When you have been on the merry-go-round for a few times, somehow the novelty wears off and tedium sets in with the rhythm of the music. Monkeys know how to have a good time, yet you are not finding having fun to be quite as much fun. Doing too much of the same thing for the sake of enjoying yourself leads to less pleasure and turns it into chore. Is all your pleasure seeking hiding some negative feelings deep on the inside? Deal with what has really been bothering you instead of rushing out to have more fun and only to end up more disenchanted than when you set off. Express your worries, be they big or small, to a trusted confidante. It will not make them think less of you. If anything, they will regard you more highly as an all round human being full of all the usual frailties that make us all more than bone and flesh wandering around on planet earth. Disperse what is bothersome, then go out and enjoy the merry-go-round ride.
