Lesson 44-1Patterns of culture
Custom has notcommonly been regarded as a subject of any great moment. The inner workings ofour own brains we feel to be uniquely worthy of investigation, but custom, wehave a way of thinking, is behaviour at its most commonplace. As a matter offact, it is the other way around. Traditional custom, taken the world over, isa mass of detailed behaviour more astonishing than what any one person can everevolve in individual actions, no matter how aberrant. Yet that is a rathertrivial aspect of the matter. The fact of first-rate importance is thepredominant role that custom plays in experience and in belief, and the verygreat varieties it may manifest.
No man ever looksat the world with pristine eyes. He sees it edited by a definite set of customsand institutions and ways of thinking.
