I grew up to understand life as a struggle of pain we encounter through people or things we encounter around us. The only way I see myself escaping this thought is when I struggle by doing things that always make me happy. The mind is very powerful because real pain starts in the mind.
I believe in karma, so I also believe the circle of pain is real. People hurt people, and the person hurt will want to transfer that pain to another person; this is an act of greed. This is why I always suggest a person sit down to heal first from any pain before moving to the next. Life is full of so many painful encounters, either with friends or family. I believe pain has a way of repeating itself, especially when we do something bad to another person. Life is like a circle that if you do bad, it will fall back on you, and when you do good, it will fall back on you too. This is true and I believe it because out of thousands of religions they all share similar thoughts about this, the Buddha, Christians and muslims and several others, the same facts in different proverbs about the circle of pain that is transferred from one person to another and the circle of happiness that is transferred also from one person to another.
The mind will always remind you of the pain you caused this person before, because of the things you did, which is why you are feeling this way now. I make sure to always be the good person in everyone's picture by minding my business and not doing beyond my capacity, but we can't always be the superhero or the good guys in everyone's pictures. Sometimes, we are the villain in the story.

My frist experience with circle of pain was from my dad, there was a time he do cared for us and carry us up and down like a baby until everything changed and he started acting like he don't care but he still gives support, although he is a good man but the picture i had of him and THE happy smiles before is not what i see so i had to accept the fact and i started acting also like i don't care to my friends even though i really cared lot.
Another experience of a circle of pain was from my first love, who broke my heart. I started seeing every other lady like trash and hated their gender a lot until I had to accept that this is part of life and everyone will face this reality of being hurt by someone. I had to let go of that pain because I did not want to end up being a bad person to someone else's daughter, and my heart could not tolerate what I was thinking. It was too dangerous for me.
The best way to overcome the circle of pain is to accept it as part of life and also let go of every heaviness of pain we might feel in our heart, discover solutions to heal that moment of pain either through videos, music, self-meditation or talking to a reasonable person.
