Once the mind is stretched, it does not return to its original form because new understanding changes what you notice, how you interpret situations, and what you accept as true. When you learn a concept, see a pattern, or gain a new skill, your brain builds new mental pathways and updates old assumptions. This shifts your standards and your decision-making, because you start comparing current choices against a wider set of options and outcomes. It also changes your questions, because you move from “What is happening?” to “Why is it happening, and what should I do next?” As a result, you cannot fully go back to the earlier viewpoint, since you now carry added context, stronger reasoning, and clearer expectations.
