I think you're right that as you learn about something, you feel invested and find more interest in it. I also think that as you learn about one thing you may find other areas or topics that you can learn about - so "what you love" may actually be a moving target.

Pretty much. I think it's a genetic thing with our species to always want more. Grass is greener etc.

I wish this lesson was pounded into my brain at an earlier age. I spent too much of my younger years waiting for that AHA! moment where I'd realize my calling in life. It just doesn't work that way for a good chunk of civilization. Finding out what you love takes work because we don't know ourselves as well as we think we do...
