Predictability (Jan. 20)

Humans are creatures of habit to a large extent. This phenomenon leads to the reality that life is predictable to a certain extent. Certain things seem like they will always happen or that you will respond in a particular way based on the circumstances of a given situation. The reality is that there is a particular part of your brain that specifically deals with memory in such a way that you really do not even have to think about it. For example, after living in a given residence for even a short period of time, one would be able to literally walk through the residence completely blind and know exactly where they were at. Sure you might have to feel around for the walls but you would still know where you are. This predictability for the positive is comfort, but what about the circumstances you find yourself in where predictability is for the negative? You may not know what is going to happen and they may cause stress, but it is these times in life that make the entirety fun.
