I’m a firm believer that life in all its facets has a rhythm. Often times I forget about it till I’m caught off guard by some event that reminds me of this simple fact. Today I attended three going away parties and I couldn’t help but wonder what was responsible for this mass exodus.
After some careful thought I realized it was just a naturally occurring pattern. I would like to say it had a lot to do with me working in the advertising industry or the looming recession. But the truth is patterns just emerge in nature like waves crashing on a shore or the flow of traffic for that matter.
Proof of this can be seen in a clip I came across detailing research being conducted on the cause of traffic jams. It seems that traffic jams and slow downs just happen naturally. Of course you have accidents and rubber necking but this experiment just focused on watching the natural flow of traffic.
So there you have it, if you watch or stay in one place long enough you’ll begin to notice patterns emerge.
