THE GREAT WHEEL isn’t only up and down, success or failure, it’s more of a turntable, like a lazy-Susan at a Chinese banquet, where the dishes come around periodically, and you can choose or not as things go by.

Or like, in many global mythologies, the Ouroboros, a snake 🐍 biting its tale, the Circle of Life, re-incarnation, Infinity.  But, not as simple as a wheel, more a moebius strip or knotted coil, where the path around is not obvious, and hidden.
