...is that life seems to conspire to teach us the same old lessons over and over again. Like – oh no, here we go again, me and this person, or me and this situation, or me and this set of circumstances, this is going to lead to that. So long as we think we know where a certain situation is heading, it is likely to head right there. Judgement based solely on past experiences. All of this prevents any real self-evolution. We just go round and round in those ever decreasing circles. And yet we all look for ways to break those circles.
To do that, means we have to put down what we expect and pick up a willingness to be surprised.
When patterns are broken, new worlds emerge. (Tuli Kupferberg)
