Another perhaps more sadder perspective on this is provided by the parable of the sower.
Matthew 13:20-21
As for what was sown on rocky ground, this is the
one who hears the word and immediately receives it with joy, yet he has no root in himself, but endures for a while, and when tribulation or persecution arises on account of the word, immediately he falls away.
