Cyclic

Ecclesiastes 1:9

What has been will be again, what has been done will be done again; 

there is nothing new under the sun.

Life, in a way, is cyclic. Each cycle has its own challenges and problems. When you complete the course of each challenge and problem in the current cycle, you equip your self with that much ability to navigate through challenges of next cycles, more easily. However, if you open the window and throw the problem out without solving it, you make it that much more difficult for facing challenges of next cycle.
