No repeats

When I get a hamburger again, it is not the same.  Sure, it looks the same.  If you take a photo of the two servings, I might not be able to tell which is the early one and which the later.  But right there, I show the difference: early and later, distinguishable or not.  We sophisticates know that time and history make a difference.  When I bite into that 2nd burger, I have already eaten the first one.

This whole business of first and second shows the truth of many things, not just hamburgers.  When I travel to Hawaii, the islands are a little older on each subsequent visit.  There are no repeats.  Sure, there are strong similarities but each event is its own.
