I was on this wheel during my visit to Singapore last September. It was huge but slow. From far, you cant see it moving. The kids at first tot it was not operating. We walked quite a bit (actually from Bugis to the Flyer) coz the roads were closed for the F1 race.
Sarah was complaining why the wheel seemed to be near but far. When we reached there, there were no crowd. The wheel ride was slow and steady. Cant feel anything actually. The view was breathtaking. You can see the whole of Singapore from up there.
The Wheel ride is like the cycle of life. The ups and downs and finally you're back on the ground. The ground is where the reality lies. You need to experience all sorts adventures and meet many people to be where you are now. I see my life as slow and steady like the wheel. It took me many painful years to be where I am now. At least part of the pain is over now. As always I told A, the pain is over but the scar will always remain... Am not going to endure the same pain again.
I read a book that say Love anything that lives - a person, a pet, a plant - and it will die. Trust anybody and you may be hurt; depend on anyone and that one may let you down. The price of cathexis is pain. Move out or grow in any dimension and pain as well as joy will be your reward. There is frequently something pathetic about the individual who has failed to build his family into a loving unit, yet restlessly searches for loving relationships outside the family. The first obligation of a genuinely loving person will always be to his or her marital and parental relationships.
Think about that!
