Have you ever imagined your life as a merry-go-round? You are riding on it, and it cannot be stopped. "You" cannot stop it. And people, many people ride with you: all the people you have ever encountered throughout your existence up to now. You are all together, running around... Sometimes it all makes sense, you know where you are going, where the goal of it all resides, other times - most times - you don't understand why you, and the others for that matter, are there. It's an intriguing thought, a fascinating image that was beautifully suggested by the final scene in the old Fellini's movie "8 1/2". We, the whole mankind, are on this crazy merry-go-round that turns, turns and never stops. Until the lights slowly become dimmer and dimmer... and finally go out.
