The "Re" that loses value over time.

The English grammatical rules have taught us that when we want a thing to occur several times, we should look for verbs with the "Re" prefix. 

Of course, there are verbs which have re in their appearance but are not actually for the purpose of letting a certain action or thing occur again, like receive or better yet, their root word doesn't really showcase an action.

But most often, the purpose of "re" is what we described in the last sentence. Such that "repetition," "reuse," even rwcite and recycle are action words, which when re is removed, is still an action word or anything that describes a system.

For example, cite is to say something.

When you recite, you say something again or you add insights to a certain query, but it is already provided that before you can recite, lectures have already been completed. Or maybe the professors have already taught you some lessons. 

You cannot usually recite when someone hasn't informed you of the content. Or you have no background knowledge of the whole thing. By this means, for a repetition to occur, an action of the same thing must precede.

However, as much as doing things again is sometimes significant, we cannot deny that the more we repeat it, the more alterations emerge, leading the aim of an action in the first place to be just nothing, and the act itself, through time, devalues or devolves. Like the successive acts, they have been a step farther away from the original one. 

Like, for example, in recycling.

It is good to recycle. It is even considered a good act for the environment, but we can only recycle one thing at a time and when we go beyond that, the resource we have starts to deplete.

The product intended to be created from the recycled source isn't that well functioning anymore. Something is not enough to become an asset anymore and thus its values depreciate, eventually leading it to be a liability. 

And in situations like this, we are much more likely to simply obtain a new object and leave the product alone.

 

The act of repetition, most of the time, devalues a thing.

Another example is in the case of apologies for failing someone. This one is really relevant. I have always observed this in youth and in what they call toxic relationships.

The number of times they were apologized for failing to keep a promise of change has caused them to give up on their love for each other.

Most of them even stress the real meaning of being sorry being turned into something worthless because of the cliche'ness of the act of apologizing and still sinning again.

It is so stressful that it hurts the eyes and the heads of anyone who realizes what's really going on in something.

Too much repetition is also annoying. You say something and then you need to say it again over and over. 

For songs, we have this called LSS or Last Song Syndrome, wherein the song you last played and enjoyed keeps playing on your mind and won't go away. But, no matter how much you want to say you love a song, too much replaying of it will cause you to dismiss it as normal and just another song.   Like the magic of the words and the harmony doesn't affect you anymore.

 

As a result, I realized how majestic and awesome those people who never gave up are. Those who continued to try despite all the odds and failure. Those are the people who continue to climb their mountain and never stop until they reach the peak.

It has been marvelous, as again, it's normal for humans to let go of that thing easily, especially when that thing becomes boring and useless in our eyes. When we are exposed too much to that thing, we can no longer find the joy in seeing it.

They're worthy of being recognized for their perseverance and dedication to pursue thethings that seem impossible to the world, and I hope that you become one of them too. 

Research suggests that all people have potential.

When we were still kids, we had a lot of potential as well as a lot of ideas. However, what sets successful people aside is that they are those who acknowledge this potential and develop it in the long run so it becomes a productive skill. 

 

I hope you become one of these people, so never give up if you're working on something you know would help you in the long run. Stay safe. You are loved.

Repetition is helpful in some other situations For example, repeating and repeating information is a good thing that helps memorize it As you said, repeating an apology reduces the love between the two parties
