Building Cycles

What is eternal increase? The best way to think of it is a cycle that goes on forever. They are loops linked together through time.

Think of the water cycle. It rains, filling lakes, which evaporate into clouds, and it rains again.

This cycle is self correcting and self sustaining.

Now think of a bad example, cancer. The cycle is broken allowing for runaway growth that leeches from the good and replacing it with death. Cells divide and divide and divide all from a simple mutation.

Now for a real example, someone writes a book. You read it and it encourages you to create. Your creation encourages another person to create. The cycle goes on forever.

But this cycle can be broken, mutated, co-opted. Simply, if you read something which inspires you to create and you don’t. The cycle is broken. Or even worse, you are create something that takes over another ‘s ability to create. An addiction, unchecked cycles.

Find what inspires you to create and pass that energy into a child, a friend, or a family member. Build your cycle and you will live forever.
