Circular Thinking

Why do we always want to go back? Even if we have settled well into our new circumstances? There is like a longing to go "home". Why? Intellectually we are striving forward, farther, towards more, bigger, higher etc.. Emotionally we strive back... perhaps not back, but in circles. We like to believe that life is a circle. From dust back to dust. We talk about the circle of life and get emotional with it. Same with space. In our spontaneous intellectual understanding it is linear. But there is some evidence that it is curved. And we don't like going forth and back, we love to walk in circles. Returning to the origin by performing a circle. I believe that there is a notion of an area we cannot fully grasp with our human intelligence, that perhaps emotionally we are able to go a step further than our minds are able to go, on some terrain which is not fully accessible our intellect.
OK, this stuff just arouse from my feelings around having lived here two years and not knowing where I will spend how much time of my life.

As for me, I believe that our real origin is God and I long to go back to this home. That is easier as I never had a kind of a tribal home as many people have. My immediate relatives are distributed all over Germany and some of them even outside. No one of them lives close to my parents origin anyway and they come from very different backgrounds themselves...
