The "Circle of Life" is a complex ideal, and I'm not sure that I will be able to answer this is such a small space, at least fully. So, please bear with my attempt.
The "Circle of Life" is a simple observation of the world around us. One of the first rules of science. Through a Natives eyes he could watch the sun rise and set, the moon go through its phases, people being born, growing old and then dying. He could also watch plants grow from seeds, the fruit harvested, and the plant die. He could also watch the seasons change, from winter through winter and back again. This 'Circle' is taught to us at a very young age, it is an inevitable and unchangeable future we all share. Death then becomes our limit in this world and while it is a goal we avoid as long as possible, we understand that it will mark our end here. Our goals then become to shape our lives around the fact that we do not know when we will meet our end, but when we do our good works must outweigh our misdeeds.
I do not know a better way to explain this, as European cultural models ignore death except under mentioning through veiled religions, and that makes it hard to relate to such things.
