Its all about patterns

"Its all about patterns, recurrent patterns...."

I had once come across this on a gentleman's profile's in his about me section. I had interacted with him fr a very short period, but he was a fun to talk to kinda guy. Anyway, this has nothing to do with him except fr the statement above was his profile introduction.

I am a very curious individual. I always question things around me. Always looking for the reasons and logic. And I believe that the basic elements behind everything, everything that happens or exists in the whole world has to be very simple. I believe so cz m inspired by one of the greatest thinking brains ever, Einstein. He, though an atheist, believed in only one God. He called him science God, the God of simplicity. According to him, things could not be complex, if they were, either the paradigm was wrong or the perspective.

I am a keen observer. I have always loved observing people and their behavior, when in different circumstances. How they react or how they appear to react. I do not rely much on what people say, because words can be elusive. And as they say,

"What you are, shouts so loudly in my ears, I cant hear what u say".

Human behavior according to me, reflects in every thing they do, make, write, speak etc etc.
Though every individual and his behavior might differ from others, but then there are some traits that help us categorise them. Every individual may have some bound aspects, which we may call the integrated individuality, and other loose aspects which we can identify and categorise.



The bound aspects, that represent the individuality is nothing but again is composed of loose aspects bound together, arranged in some fashion to give a distinct unidentifiable shape. Its like geometry. Basic geometric shapes like traingles, squares and circles are identifiable. But, if we get a little creative and mix and merge these shapes, what would result may be a shape that cant be standardised or classified. But ultimately are composed of these basic shapes. Similar is the case with behavior/personality. An individual personality similarly can said to be composed of various basic patterns, that are superimposed on each other in a random fashion that provides the individual with a distinct personality.





It can also be compared to a DNA pattern. The basic genes are the same, but when organised in different manner, results in an altogether different pattern and that DNA pattern as we know is the differentiating factor among the various individuals when talking on biological terms. Thus, the DNA may appear howsoever complex, it still is composed of very simple building block genes.



So, what may appear ever so complex, acc to me, is not that mysterious when u look at its basic elements. There are a few basic behavorial patterns that arranged or superimposed in different fashion may result in mystic behaviours.

Understanding this has helped me come a long way in my understanding of people and their psyche. Though no theory is ever complete, and this is no exception. I have made errors in the past in understanding people, and may continue to do so in the future. Still, i enjoy my tryst with the mysteries that surround me, looking for answers... till my soul deserts my body and finds eternal peace...
