Cause the earth is round and moon is round sun is round!. Wheels go round and round!. So simply more people related to the saying!. Another thing is the solar system orbits in a circular motion!. The sun went down and the sun came up again!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

The first answer is right!. The saying does not refer to everything, it simply says simple, if something is going around then it is sure to go around!. If something is moving then it is moving and will move!. That's basically what it says in another example!.Of course the saying is then a little redundant almost like saying, "What is a human, will be a human" well of course if something is something then it will be itself, so why then say what goes around comes around!? If it goes around do I need to say it will come around!?

The question is, "How do we know what is sure to come around as oppose to what we think will come around or what we think won't come around!." Www@QuestionHome@Com

First off "what goes around comes around" refers to situations where if it is going around sooner or later it will also come to your doorstep!. This is highly social and refers to those unavoidable realities that we see and know sooner or later is also going to come around and effect us!. It is a basic rule in certain societies and somewhat of a reality in some circles even if those circles might be hexagonal and multifaceted!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

It seems circles are a theme in many cultures & philosophies!. They say what goes around comes around as in how you treat others will come back to you- good or bad!. I suppose it could go in a square, but as it is not really moving it doesn't make much difference, right!? ;) Any way- Eternity is often represented often times as a circle as well- every beginning is an end of some other time period- that kind of thing!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Circles are simple shapes of Euclidean geometry consisting of those points in a plane which are at a constant distance, called the radiusWww@QuestionHome@Com

You could say "what goes asquare comes asquare!." But that sounds kinda odd!. So perhaps saying "around" sounds alot better!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
