Deep within the silent walls of a remote monastery, legend has it
that a brilliant but troubled monk invented a peculiar spinning wheel.
Designed as a meditative tool, the wheel was said to symbolize the
ever-turning cycles of life, fate, and divine order. Its numbered slots
and intricate movements were a reflection of the monk's philosophical
musings, intended to inspire his fellow brothers to contemplate the
mysteries of the universe.
However, the wheel’s mesmerizing spin began to serve a different
purpose. The monks, captivated by its allure, started wagering on the
outcome—turning the once-philosophical device into an early gambling
game. Horrified by what his invention had become, the monk, consumed
with guilt and despair, is said to have taken his own life.
