Full Circle
If you go a full circle and reach the same point where you started….are you supposed to be wiser for having traversed the circumference?
If so then how many times has he traversed it and shouldn’t he remember the other previous traversals?
Or is the argument that in a lifetime everyone has to go start from his first traversals himself and since this is a feat too exhausting for the human mind, we never reach beyond our 1st or the 2nd?
Can he accelerate it through culture? Or does culture just act as an initial booster which then kills his ability to go beyond a point for art is like a crutch that can only take you through an already travelled part and any point beyond that is just unthinkable for a person who has come till there on crutches…
Can you please explain the last two paragraphs?

Was exploring the limits of the human mind and its ability to take in the universe/life/knowledge and its vastness.
I used to see culture as a concise way to carry forward the learnings of one generation to the other, but then found that reasoning not entirely fool proof…
