The Spiral of Life

I have come to the conclusion that life does not progress as one straight line. It is a spiral. You continue to learn and discover things that you already know, you are just learning about them on new, more enlightening levels, as if you're climbing a spiral staircase. Every time you go all the way around the spiral of life, your understanding increases, you experience a transformation, and you advance to a new level of thought. Thus, each time you loop around the circle again, you see things differently. You have a different perspective that allows you to understand life more completely. The more times you get around the spiral, the higher you go and the more vantage points you will experience.
