Once upon a time, there was a great golden wheel, endlessly turning under the whimsical gaze of Fortuna. One day, it lifted Lucius, the potter’s son, to its peak : from a humble boy, he became a prince, adorned in gold and silk. Convinced his fortune would last forever, he failed to see that all things are impermanent.
But the wheel turns, and in a single night, fate shifted. Accused of treason, Lucius lost everything. Lost and broken, he wandered until he met an old man by a stream. “Look at the water,” the man said. “It flows endlessly, like life. Nothing stands still everything changes.”
Lucius then understood : falling was not the end, but a passage. He rose again, learned new skills, and when the wheel turned once more, a new opportunity appeared. He realized that every turning point is a chance and true wisdom lies not in clinging, but in learning to move with the rhythm of the world.
