PATTERNS AND THE BRAIN

Have you ever seen clouds in the sky and try to figure out pattern like geometrical shapes and shape of animals and god. Everyone do it in some point in their life and its very common not only with clouds but with everything around us.

One and the most fascinating trait of brain is to figure out pattern from everything around. It is hard wired to search patterns in the world, in other people, between events and even from nowhere where there is no possible connection. 

I think our mind does it to get a sense of awareness about the world and keep things familiar, and to avoid a awful state of confusion.

METAPHOR-

Have you ever seen a total stranger, and by the time you saw him, you already have a opinion about his nature and how he could be, whether he is good person or bad, funny or serious person or maybe about his Job ;) We all judge by our pattern matching brain.

what actually happen is whenever brain see something in order to understand it and make sense out of it, It brain storm and search for the information(images, sound, feel, smell) about that person if you have already seen and met him before, but if the person is a total stranger, In spit of that brain searches the most appropriately resembling information.or you can say information of the other person whom you may know, who most closely resemble him. Since the brain is that objective it also sometime assume that the stranger must be just like that person who you already know. :(
And not to mention that HUMAN BRAIN does it all in some fraction of second below the level of your consciousness or it does it in unconscious level(heavy word).

AND I THINK THE BRAIN DO IT SPECIFICALLY TO PROTECT YOURSELF SO THAT YOU COULD KNOW HOW TO BEHAVE WITH THAT PERSON. BECAUSE IN A DEEPER LEVEL WE ALL EXPECT OTHERS TO BEHAVE WITH US THE WAY WE WANT US TO BE BEHAVED. OTHERWISE IT MIGHT RESULT INTO THOUGHT CLASH AND FIGHT.
METAPHOR-
For all married guys, if your wife asks you how is she looking in some dress or lipstick. She is actually trying to get a compliment. So you better give one as soon as possible without doing any analysis. I mean to say give her what she want or EXPECT because not doing so can cause some serious damage to your life. ;)

Cheers :)
