The logic is circular but endless in it's complexities and patterns. Circular isn't redundant imo, it's eternal. It never repeats the exact same way (same patterns but more complex maybe) and thus never really 'ends.' Just creates larger circles that creater larger circles.
Think of it as action:reaction. Action only exists because the potential REaction and Reaction only exists because of the Action itself. Mutual dependency and circular logic, but a myriad of complexities that is truly endless.
The 'Fibonacci series'...
0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144, ... to infinity-->
There was 0 (action) then 1 (reaction) and everything else now is subsequent events. And it can only increase in complexity. Yet, even though it appears too complex to have pattern, it was still based off a very simple "law" and thus patterns should be everywhere.

I don't feel that evolution can exist if we are unaware that it can't move beyond this point without the choice. I don't feel that those that don't put effort into living would evolve as quickly as someone who was already investigating his existance.
I've been looking for a long time to figure out the secrets to evolving into a better society. I believe times are changing faster than our society can comprehend. Eventually is comes down to individuals working together because the group's self-interests just happens to be that of the individual's.
For a society to become better the people have to make an effort.
I was pondering questions on my existance last night. I remembered that I don't know what I want my life to be. I can't set goals otherwise I'd just be waiting for life to happen to me. But I know I need a job to survive. Everyone can have their purpose in society, and the more schooling one receives, the more options for life paths one has. So I go to school.
I had to make a big change in myself to do all my work and turn everything in and get the best grades I could. Really make an effort. The effort is change. If I was myself all the time everything in my capabilities would be precise but I wouldn't be leaving myself open to these new ideas. I've decided it's not where I find myself when I actually do begin to feel as though I am really coming to grips with who I am, it's the speed at which I'm able to develop that is going be who I am.
I don't know if there's always been two types of people, one wanting stability the other wanting uncertainty, or if this is something new that no one's ever heard of. I realized I'm never going to be truely happy if I don't make the decision to be in a constant state of change. Something that requires effort constantly, not 'do work now, reep the rewards later.' It's not a cop out. It's a full time-individuality.
I wouldn't like to think that this is taxing my brain too much to where it would be unwise to try and progress beyond my rate of change. I don't think it's very possible that one could support themselves in a spiral staircase (of sort) of evolution. I believe people do get stuck because they are afraid. They don't climb the spiral staircase, they just live life in circles, cycles. Full of fear that if they tried anymore to be the most they could be, they could lose everything in the process.
People who are resistant to change are scared of the process. The process is made to look scary. Most movies you watch take a whole 2 hours just for that one change the protagonist must make to be able to create the feeling the audience needs for closure to their movie going experience. They feel like something happened. That watching pictures on a screen influenced their life.
I feel, for society to exist with me inside it, and for me to be truely happy at the same time, change is that which should matter most.
