What a life

i heard someone say something very useful yesterday. "He said instead of looking at life as a stright line progressing from birth to live to die, fold the stright line to form a circle. So the process will continue; birth - live - die - birth ..... and on and on. Everything that happens in your life directs and redirects your life. The redirection is like rebirth after any incident that you did not wish to happen in your life (death)" Such a simple understanding yet very powerful (for me it is). It feels great when you say "ok, that was my death, now its my rebirth, what am i going to do differently in this birth?"
