Does recency bias conflict with a feeling of security and stableness/faithfulness because it feels like you have to continue to maintain whatever it is and can't rely on past success?
Maybe recency bias also suggests / reminds us that humans forget things over time, and that bothers us because if things are always forgotten over time, then what was the point? Just don't do anything until the end. (sounds like the right formula for performance reviews at work... jk)
Even in marriage where there is a permanent commitment, there is recency bias in terms of how you currently feel about the other person even if the commitment doesn't change. But also, the recency bias is combined with lots of past joys and hurts and memories; it just happens that the recent stuff may (or may not) take a greater weight in contributing to the overall feeling towards the person.
Recency bias seems to be a fact of life. At work, in all your relationships, and even spiritually. It seems a little tiring psychologically because you need to keep putting in effort. It's not like Calvinism (once saved always saved). But usually people enjoy putting in effort for stuff and people they like, so it's not that exhausting.
I have also heard people say that once you build up a spiritual foundation, even if you are busy for a few years or whatever, you still have that foundation that you rely on, that you once put in the hours and time and the heart and the pursuit for. I believe that also applies to all other relationships. You always put in more effort in the beginning, and when times are rough and time is scarce, your relationships can still sustain with that past effort.
