a) AX'IS, noun - "straight line (inception towards death) passing through a body (life)".

b) Axis implies being center (ones perception) within circumference (all perceivable)...suggestions tempt one to incline towards another, hence off-center.

c) Since axis passes through each body it implies linear movement...not orbital. Meanwhile; consenting to a suggestion tempts one into a conflict of reason against others aka circular reasoning.

This consent of many to circular reasoning is labeled by few as "circle of life...wheel of fortune...leap of faith...band of hope...path unwinding" etc.

"Some of us fall by the wayside" (many)..."And some of us soar to the stars" (few)... https://genius.com/Elton-john-circle-of-life-lyrics
