Long term effects 2

We move in circles...we are like electrons circling around a nucleus, returning to and leaving, returning to and leaving the different places along the circuit, always on the go, but not going very far. And even if we travel far, we are likely to meet our long time neighbours on the most remote places...
Sometimes we feel we leave a place or situation for good - but it is difficult. We might succeed for some time, but then the memories return and the people, and the places, and the feelings, and everything we left...
Even the criminal returns to the place of the crime, it is said.
The longer we live, the more obvious it gets that we move in circles and that we return to events that happened to us or that we initiated. When we return something is waiting for us for good or bad.
The first time we visit a place we are quite free. When we return it is to a cage, made from our own actions there. There are nice cages and bad ones.
Our own actions decide. We can do good things in bad circumstances, and we can do bad things in good circumstances. There are more variations.
It is difficult to know the power of ones own actions. Two people in very similar situations might form very different cages.
We have free will and we can have any ambition any time, but we can not always realize our ambitions. Blocks and possibilities created by earlier actions might look incomprehensible for others.
