The Circular Nature of Life and Existence
Life is not a straight line but a circle, characterized by cyclicality and rhythm. Everything in life, including emotions, events, and existence itself, follows a circular pattern of coming and going. From the microscopic level of electrons orbiting a nucleus to the galactic level of Earth circling the Milky Way, existence is defined by circularity. The human body also follows a circular pattern, transitioning from dependence to independence and eventually returning to dependence. However, society's focus on progress and linear advancement leads to a denial of life's circular nature, creating a 'dis-ease' of the straight line. The belief that life is only meaningful when progressing and accumulating material possessions leads to a disconnect from the true circular reality of life. Embracing the circular nature of life is essential for understanding and accepting the true rhythm of existence.
