Why does the mind want to keep repeating?

Mind finds identity in repetition, me and mine, and does not want to let go or be lost ( in unfamiliarity).
It finds comfort in that
The world is divided into two things –
The known and the unknown (but knowable).
You may not know my grandson, so he is unknown to you, but once I show you his picture, he becomes known to you.
Mind can toggle between the known and the unknown (but knowable).
Staying in the known gives the mind comfort.
Why?
Because the mind’s power is very limited and it lives only within it.
If one sense organ gets lost, the other senses become more powerful.
That’s why blind people invariably become good listeners.
But still, it is a limited world for the mind.
The mind is like a pair of binoculars focused outward, but we can’t see our eyes in them; the eyes are behind the binoculars.
There is no way to “see” the eye.
Same way, there is another dimension …
So, if you really look at it, all our life this is all we do: know and connect with the outside world more, the better; call that a valuable achievement, brag about it, fight for more of it, despair if we can’t, and our life comes to an end.
But the sad truth is, we never know who we are.
