Hi friends! What do you think about life, would you agree that life is like a circle and we keep travelling in a circular path most of the time in our life? Thanks in advance for your response.

Sometimes on a roller coaster ride you go through loops - that's pretty circular! And what a thrill, eh? We all know there are many loops in life - hee hee!!

Great post. Life can be circular. If you do the same thing over and over it is circular. But It doesn't have to be that way. I am living proof that a person can change their path.The best thing anyone can do is Follow their bliss.then even if you are doing the same thing over and over , at least it is something you Want to do.

Or all life is circular but you don't mind it if you are doing what you love. Or have someone to love.

Sometimes you love to follow a circular path, when things are going your way.

Hello Sara! Yeah, it is true that a person can change his/her path, provided s/he is willing, else s/he may live in a circular path. Many thanks for sharing your views.

If I take my life as an example, I started somewhere, lived somwhere and now I am living in an entirely different place. I do not see this circle anywhere in my life. May be for some people the life is circular but not for all.

It means for you the life was not in a circular path. But have you observed that routine of life is like circle?

Hi deepak! I think that it can be that way. It's not been that way for me though. My life has been full of change and sometimes it is welcomed while sometimes it's not.

So you can say it is a roller coaster ride for you.

Oh yes...it certainly has been. So many unexpected things and adventures have happened for me. I can't say that it has all been good but I can say it has never been boring..lol.

Life is a circular path if we tread the same path over and over again.If we take a detour or we change the direction i feel we'll be on new and uncharted territory.As we go on a new way we will discover many new things and encounter hurdles on the way.But ultimately we'll be more experienced and wiser.We will also know what to do and avoid.

Hi! Very mature ideas, I appreciate the same. I agree that sometimes, we need to take a detour to change our way to explore the uncharted territories and to explore the unknown vistas. Thanks for kick starting the discussion.

Hi Deepak, I agree with picjim. And as such, if we pay attention, we'll notice certain patterns (which are circular, and hence, patterns of repetition) that emerge in our life. Mostly, we'll notice difficult of negative patterns -- or circles. Our task is to really see the depth of these patterns. Not in a superficial way -- not in a way that ascribes blame to someone. In a deep, meditative way -- in a way that cuts to the heart of the circle itself; to the "hub" of the wheel that is really the energy source of the entire pattern.

You are making philosophical observations Airakumar. I will have to but agree with you that in a wheel, hub is the most important part and the wheel (in this case life) revolves around hub.

Hi dpk262006! Let's see . . . I like to think that life is more like a spiral. You start at the center and keep going around the path you walked on . . . but each time the path gets bigger and bigger as you experience more of life. And it's never ending . . . it goes on for infinity. A spiral is circular, a moving circle so to speak - as the point is we all grow in life and it's not definite and restrictive as a definite shape. (Boy, I'm getting philosophical this morning - hee hee).

I agree with you much2say that life could also be termed as spiral and we keep revolving around it. You are really getting philosophical dear and I loved your philosophy.

Hi DPK, Oh yes the Circle of Life, everything in nature including us tends to be a cycle but I get what you mean too when life seems to run you round in circles rather than let you follow thepath. Huggles. Ellie :D

There could be some truth to it. Life do cycles but I think it's more like a path that sometimes is straight and sometimes there's a crossing and that's is the time to choose where you are heading. And most of the time people made mistake in choosing their path and when they tried to retrace their path they could never go back. So it means only one thing for me life is a crossroads of many opportunities some hide and some disguises. We need to be intelligent and wiser enough to spot the golden opportunities because sometimes it's right upon our nose and we just ignore it.

well not a circular path but maybe a path like a walkway. but i believe in the wheel of fortune (not the tv show) that you are sometimes on the top and in the bottom of life.

You are responsible for your own life. If you like your life to follow a circular pattern, then most likely you would. But if you decide to discover and take detours, then most likely you will. You are the author of your life, and it is up to you which direction would you choose.

Hi pin! I think we all are responsible for our lives. Taking detour is in our hands, but how many dare to take?
