    Because the thing that you were originally looking for gets in the way of the thing that you are looking for now:)

    Because the little man who lives in the refrigerator, the one who turns the light on and off when you open and close the door, he knows what you're looking for and hides it when you're not in the kitchen. That's how he gets his jollies.

    Because our minds are so focused on one object, we tune out that object and tune in what we are not focused on. It's the Law of the Mind; memorization cannot be subdued unless focusness divides its attention on what is not to be focused on.
