You know when something's so far removed from another thing they're actually like the same thing?

Isn't that shit weird?

Dunno why I mentioned it. It's popping up a lot in my English class lately and in a book I'm reading. It's just really... weird.

I dunno if anyone knows what I mean. It pops up all over the place, like if you go all the way around the world you wind up where you started, and like some drugs are supposed to encourage things but physiologically they end up inhibiting them, etc. Obviously those two examples aren't even particularly strong, they just popped into my head, and there are totally different reasons and mechanisms for both of them, but it's just an interesting phenomenon.

The book I'm reading cites an "endlessly rising canon" by Bach, wherein the key keeps going up and up, starting from C I think, like C, D, E... etc, until, of course, voila, it's back to C before you even notice exactly what's happening. And then it repeats. Stuff like that. Anyone know what I'm talking about?

I'm not saying there's a metaphysical relationship between any of these examples or anything, that would be a little out there, but whenever I see them they're just very interesting, to me anyway.

um... yeah. anyone wanna talk about this? :P
