A Thought for Today-582:Dr. Martin Luther King Jr
All I'm saying is simply this, that all life is interrelated, that somehow we're caught in an inescapable network of mutuality tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly affects all indirectly. For some strange reason, I can never be what I ought to be until you are what you ought to be. You can never be what you ought to be until I am what I ought to be. This is the interrelated structure of reality - Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

Picture of the day-386: VGP Universal Kingdom with Giant Wheel in the background
The giant wheel is a fascinating creation. I used to like and ride it in my younger days. After a time, somehow I developed sort of uneasiness, or maybe even fear and could not bring myself to ride it. So now I just watch it from a distance, as the fascination has not completely disappeared. It applies to the various joy rides in the amusement park.
Grateful thanks to VGP Universal Kingdom.
