JE25 Natural Cycle

         Nature reminds me the cycle of death and birth. Biologically, it is called food chain, which animals eating animals and form into a big chain. In the other aspect, I see people pass away and also being born every day. This reminds me “when a door is closed, another window will be opened.” There is no exact way, or fate, for where are you going and what are you going to become. Death and birth are just two points we must pass, like two doors. And we create the rest of it. I think this cycle is comforting because you can create your path by making different decisions in your life. I think the cycle of life is just a basic rule that we must follow.

This rule is pretty much like the idea of yin and yang. There are always positive things and negative things in this world, balancing our life. This idea is also like the conservation of energy. The energy you exerted did not disappear, it instead transformed into another form of energy still existing in this world. Everything on earth is merely a big cycle. One goes, another comes. Sometimes I do find this rule disturbing because it is hard to let something or someone go in your life. But the good thing is, something else will come and fulfill another missing piece in your life.
