Pattern Recognition

Upon arriving to our usual breakfast spot, we were, as usual greeted by the host. Today, he looked a bit confused and said, “But, you’re an hour early.”

Humans create patterns, and whether we think we notice or not, we integrate other people’s patterns into our own. We seem to do this on a vast scale, with minute patterns being brought to the conscious only when exceptions occur. If I could now only recognize the patterns without first having to see the exceptions.
