A Strawberry AlarmClockwork Orange

Okay so it is usually only a matter of time before something someone does comes back on them no matter how much they bury themselves away from it; if it is bad enough it will come back on them.

Now John Lennon sang a song called "Instant Karma" I believe there is something more long standing than "instant".

Instant is not truly the way things work in life. Time takes it's toll on events and the longevity is where the impacts of past events take place. No matter how many times you sweep things under the rug they pile up and regardless it is not in an instant that something under the rug is what you are dealing with but it is not instantly but more usually after it builds up.

The book "A Clockwork Orange" is based on the concept that there are cycles to life and that the individual in question goes through several changes in his life due to the nature of his being and how he acted out in society and how society then treated him. It came back on him and then it came back on society and then he came around to see that the people that were his former colleagues became what they hated the most and were but that they were always so much like those they hated in the first place just taking up a different standing in society. It also reflects the knowledge that it takes one to know one in the end. He beat members of society down then society beat him down then the colleagues he knew beat him down as part of the society he rebelled against.

Speaking for someone else and telling others fallacies about someone is going to come back on you someday. No matter how many friends you have it will come back to get you.

The duality of being is a concept that has to do with there being one side and an opposing side. Some people claim there is more to that with any issue or dimensions to objects whether they be applied to logic or whether they be applied to social sciences and not measurable. Of course there still are "either or" questions in life. There is a truth to the duality of being although I have heard people claim there is always more to an issue than two sides sometimes things are actually that simple.

Revolutions of the earth around the sun. The ancients described this in symbols before they had language with a broken circle with a cross in the middle because they finally figured the pattern the sun had was a cycle somehow so they used the symbol of the broken circle to describe the sun and earth. The earth was the unbroken circle. It also represented the circle of life.

Design is known as radial symmetry.

Circles became symbols to describe other things like rain, soil, drought, and direction like a compass. There are many symbols that are created from the circle. Clocks, wheels, balls, bubbles (found in nature and one of the strongest forms is a circle) , fans, propellers,they all symbolize the beginning the middle and the return to the beginning and letting the cycle start over from the beginning again.

The celebration of a return of the seasons of spring and harvests and winters and summers. The cycle of life. Even the word cycle looks like the word circle.
