The Ferris Wheel...

When i came across this Big Wheel in Öcherbend this afternoon... i came to think that it resembled the wheel of life..

Imagine u're on the ride.. when u're down there, u're dying to see how the world looks like from up there... and it is true.. u feel very satisfied once u reach that height.. but at the same time, there's this feeling of fear... fear of falling down, fear of losing the excitement, fear of being replaced.. nonetheless the wheel keep turning no matter what.. it becomes even more and more intense...some people crying out of fear, some screaming like going insane, some asking for more... all of them facing the fear and excitement, either alone or with friends..

People talk about it after the ride.. some laugh at one another, some try to calm their friends, some brought to standstill.. others might see u differently after the game.. u're judged if u're strong enough.. questioned if u dare to come back and take another round of challenge.. or choose to just play merry-go-round instead bcos it's much safer and doesn't give a big change of feeling from time to time..

This is what life does to us... we all hate to fail, or be disappointed.. but ironically, even in a blissful zone, we're somehow still overwhelmed with fears... it can be just a simple nightmare in slumber, but somehow, it ruins the whole good mood the next morning.. fear that thing would just get back to the time before we get to know a little bit of happiness.. or fear that we're still not over it..

In that case, I always think that i just need to learn one thing.. namely, the art of walking away...
