Life as a repetitive cycle....

I came to read this article (I rather call it reflection) I once published on one of the online communities like a year ago about Life .. and while I was going through the text, I realised that what I reflected a year ago is again happening same timing but in different context..


Is Life a repetitive Cycle????
...Reaching a certain status in life (especially age) requires a lot of effort, patience, experience and above all, Will & Passion. And guys, I admit, it's not an easy job at all.
During the journey so called Life, people tend to form some sord of intellectual barriers and emotional walls as a personal and private self-defence, each according to his/her own understanding and acceptance to his/her own life style based on a strictly individual perception.
Today, I can't help not to adopt a certain attitude of thinking regarding LIFE and whether it's a sort of a one to one game (an action that needs a reaction and vice versa) and how this individuel lives interact together in a non-stop chain around the whole universe, OR LIFE is just a matter of one repetitive cycle for each individuel that start since his/her birth and go around rotating same scenes and sequences and events all along the way till his/her death.
I am one among many who face same riddled question and concerned on the idea of feeling that we became a sort of players in a rehersal of a same play...

...Now it got me re-thinking again about how much our Life look like a big encyclopedic book including Volumes..each Volume is made of Chapters...each Chapter envolves Sections...each Section is a matter of Parts...each Part is consumed by Points...each Point form an Idea...each Idea enclose a Meaning and each Meaning include a Concept or a Form of living that is not necessarily the same among everyone...It's hysterical I know, but we all practice and interact in this big sophisticated and complicated WEB (Where Everyone Believe)...

...To be Continued...

I've much enjoyed the reflection...
It is not necessary hysterical though...

Tell me More ... please
about this "WEB"
it may well include and introduce intresting new possiabilties...
But Not Cyclic, I do not think so.
Way much far complex shapes, forms & Patterns...

It seems that you 're refering to human "Life" I guess...

No "Barriers" but many doors & gateways in every direction which way to go may reflect our limitations and perceptions.

"Emotional Walls" is an intresting concept in your reflections as well.

"Repetitive" NO...
Familiar may be?...
common patterns among the living things Yes, like survival ...

The "encyclopedia" is an intresting analogy It deserves to be continued...

Well, absolutely yes, I do refer to Human's life, actually I've been always interested in watching, understanding & analysing Human's behaviors.

As I mentioned earlier, it was a year old reflection that caming across to it revived the idea and made me reflect on the reflection itself :))

Ok, I myself still learning through my own ideas and I got a feedback from a friend who explained to me that it's not a repetitive cycle it's only pressure points that increase or decrease according certain situations and therefore it somehow appear to us as repetitive but in reality they are only pressure points that you yourself said that they could be familiar.

Concerning my "Emotional Walls" term, this is something I experienced myself and noticed among everyone I dealed with through my short journey so far. People tend to doubt about the intentions of any emotions offered to them, it's like when someone come and express certain feeling or emotion to you, you instinctly turn your brain engine On and start thinking about where, how & why those emotions of this someone were created and why you in particular.

Each one's Life is an "Encyclopedia" in itself, you don't need to be a famous person or empowering special personal skills to have your own Encyclopedia. This Encyclopedia is the result of a non-stop daily encounters on all levels: socially, physically & emotionally...

The issue is so rich and enclose more and more everyday and it's not a matter of wise words on life of some individuals expressing themselves on the cyber, but it's a Life time process and flows of ideas, an unbreakable chain and of course I benefit from all feedbacks I receive and glad to keep the thread continued....

I forgot to add about my WEB personal theory coz I am convinced that no matter the background, education, amount of faith or religion, everyone somehow believe in a bigger thing than his own terresterial existance and this believe create the motive for all of us.

Al Sharief said...

OK "PDR"
or should I call you
maynabil? :))

Nicely put is your Continued Thread...

Tow things you stimulated by your reflctions & your follw up...

One is the Cyber Dimension of your personal WEB theory & it's natural virtual manifestation & the proof is what is hapenning with this interchange... Interesting indeed ...

Two is your reflection on "Each one's Life is an "Encyclopedia" in itself" ...

Before your further elaboration on the concept as such I looked up:


[[The word encyclopedia, which to us usually means a large set of books, descends from a phrase that involved coming to grips with the contents of such books. The Greek phrase is enkuklios paideia, made up of enkuklios, "cyclical, periodic, ordinary," and paideia, "education," and meaning "general education." Copyists of Latin manuscripts took this phrase to be a single Greek word, enkuklopaedia, with the same meaning, and this spurious Greek word became the New Latin word encyclopaedia, coming into English with the sense "general course of instruction," first recorded in 1531. In New Latin the word was chosen as the title of a reference work covering all knowledge. The first such use in English is recorded in 1644.]].

The definition some how captured your last year cyclic reflection, if only linguistically with the cyclic part is very true but limited in a way to a group of people or language or common knowledge to a group of people that their language became more familiar to the body of knowledge (reads more dominant) that is the English Language, Other Languages having more limited influence. As you can see this is already more complex, that the cyclic (repetitive or the familiar & the common to a certain group) propagated to a more dominant ascending linear & exploding knowledge.

With the cyber dimension of your reflection I’ve also looked up “Wikipedia” as a word and as a project: Wiki is quick in Hawian and I think is an interesting humanized cyber age and environment project as a multi language "Encyclopedia" on the web that could contribute in unifying world cultures knowledge if properly and democratically managed???. The beauty of this is that the contribution to this body of knowledge is accessible to the individual level to reach the climax of potential complexity and in some way match your own personal “WEB” amazing stuff.

Wiki is sometimes interpreted as the backronym for "What I know is", which describes the knowledge contribution, storage and exchange function.

Apolgies for the long comment...
You really got me going "Abeer"?!
:)))

Perfumadelarosa said...

Gosh, and I thought Mai is the only Linguist I'll ever know or encounter in my whole life, I think I was wrong :))))
Very interesting coordination although it's super sophisticated to my very down to earth knowledge. Dear Mrs. Alsharief, I really don't know what to call you but I wanna thank you for your generous explanations on the word Encyclopedia as when it comes to origins of terms, it's not my territory to argue, I'm still learning but as far as I am concerned, I can speak personal experiences and relate and through this relation, plots are created in life. I will post more reflections and looking forward for more linguistic feedbacks, just go easy on me ;)

G! PDR

- I'm NO Mrs
Very Mr.

- I'm No Linguist either...
It haapens that I believe that linguistics awarness is very important in the age that we live in...

- I like it very dowen to earth too...& Simply Friendly whenever possiable ;-) ...

It's you talk about Intellectual Barriers & emotional walls that got me going...:))

The Wikipedia Vs. Encyclopedia was unevitable with your reflections.

What to call you is still a mystery too...

Perfumadelarosa said...

Dear Very Mr. Alsharief, I'm sorry for any inconvenience in thinking of you as Mrs. but when I checked your profile I only found one word "Bab El Shams" and maybe my Very feminist genes are sometimes oriented to feminize things & people although I should've been smarter and realise that you are a Mr. and not Mrs.
I think I should work harder to enhance my emotional intelligence skills :)))
Have a good day Sir and welcome on the board of my Cyber Wiki Space.

Ms. Rose

Thank You for your "Wellcome note" on your Wiki Space, and your Intllectual Flirting, knowing that you are Intellegent enough, emotional and other wise...

I do not mind the obvious feminist trait but I tend not to "Masculnize" intrsting reflections regardless of gender.

Though at times I'm biased to my kind for the betterment of the Live Knoweldge...

Happy Day to you too Mam :))
