We live and die by patterns. Everything our silly brain learns as we grow happens because of patterns. because of structure. because of repetition. If you give kid a structured home, he will learn and grow in healthy ways. We all implicitly know this. Monkey see, monkey do. You are what you eat. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree. These are colloquial truths. Our brains are wired this way. Patterns make sense to us. and we see patterns in things. We look for them. They help us to understand things. to make sense of this world. to impose some order on it. to not get lost in it.
It is bigger than us. The universe follows a pattern. Things spin on axes in predictable ways. things orbit other things. All human lives follow a shared pattern. There are experiences typical across cultures, boundaries, and beliefs. Milestones. Developmental milestones. Social ones. Experience of some sort. Work of some kind. Relationships. Copulation. Procreation. Death. There are patterns to the day. Waking. Pissing. Dressing. Eating. Doing. Eating. Shitting. Doing some more. Eating. Sleeping. Waking. There are patterns to the hour. to the minute. indeed to the second.
When does a pattern (predictable, order, natural) become a rut (sucky, boring, soul destroying)?

This is poetic.
Nicely done sir. I would like to read more of your musing soon.
You should make that one of your patterns.
