A Circle

"Heaven and earth last forever.

Why do heaven and earth last forever?

They are unborn,

So ever living."(SEVEN)

This quotation makes us wonder, "How can something start living when it has no beginning?" We automatically think that life is linked with birth. No birth=No life. In fact, we assume that nothing can exist without a beggining. I completely disagree.

For example a cirlce. How can you identify the beggining and the end of a circle? Where does it begin? It is forever contiuous.

How do you measure forever? How do you measure life? "In dayligts, in sunsets, in midnights in cups of coffee, in inches is miles in laughter in strife?"-RENT/Seasons of Love .The measurement of something abstract is entirely subjective.

What I take from this is, heaven and earth are eternal so anything in them or that results from them will always be eternal. There is no need for a beginning because there is no end as stated in TWO "All can know good as good only because there is evil. ... The ten thousand things rise and fall without cease, Creating, yet not possesing, Working, yet not taking credit. Work is done, then forgotten. Therefore it lasts forever." Without a beginnning there is no end, creating a circle: it never started so it can't end, creating INFINATE.
