Metaphoric Juxtaposition*click* Riddle?Come

. . . and scratch your head too.

 

 

I was thinking about a metaphor I created. A metaphor about the rat who is running in the broken wheel of becoming. A rat can't run in the broken wheel of becoming because the wheel is broken therefore the rat became a survivor and looks around.*click*

 

The "right picture" would be a rat running in the wheel of becoming as it is meant to be. But still, the rat doesn't go anywhere the rat keeps running in the wheel of becoming, becomes stronger, moving while staying still.

 

So, this rat is not a survivor and doesn’t have to look around? But a:*to be eventually dead out of exhaustion shapeshifter? – inside the wheel of becoming* Is it still a rat or what and most importantly what is it? A loser, winner, survivor etc. who can answer to that and why? Why should the rat or *enter word here* stop using the wheel? Or does the shapeshifter *know* how to blend in and become becoming? What is it then?

I just loved this write, the wheel to me is the never ending path, the rat is the thinking soul, and to survive it must go backwards to where the path started.
