Patterns

I am often confounded by the fact that even people with whom I have daily contatc are a complete enigma. Some are more that others. I often think that I really figured them out and I understand what motivates them. I think I understand how they emote. But no, no, it is a bottomless pit. I do notice though that I fall into patters of conversation with people. Even years apart we reenact the same questions and answers. I resent this. Still I was not able to escape the patterns even with people of highest intellect.
