THE FINAL

Cycles, cycles, cycles. Must everything be linked? Apparently, if you take AIS. It's either a cycle or a progression. Which I guess for the most part IS true, but how depressing to have to think like that? Anyways, life in itself pretty much is a cycle. You're born, you have your childhood, you make mistakes, learn, try to be someone different than everyone else (making you just the same as them), you go through schooling, more schooling, go into the work force, get married, have kids, retire, die. It is the same with everyone throughout the modern world. It is the ancient past and the "undeveloped" world that is the true gem - although they may have cycles of their own, there are a lot more variables that factor into the equation of life, making it more unpredictable. We are told from a young age that we can be anything we want to be, whether it be from Disney movies, teachers, or our parents. However, we soon come to realize that there are restrictions - there are restrictions on everything. So no, we can't actually be anything we want to be. There are many cycles in life: caring then not caring then being forced to care again to make up for when you weren't caring, the overall life cycle of birth and death, the cycle of dealing with drama, ect. ect. It all always has the same ending - giving up.
It's like the cycle of war too - and in the end one side is always forced to give up.
