The parabola of father and the son means also that both parts are interweaved together, and are both the best parts filled with the mutual affection, respect, belonging and love, but also - pride and joy. And personal joy as well as the personal experience gained through painful lessons and discovering new horizons is the only treasure we could ever get in this life. All other material things created and gained during lifetime will be of no use for its creator and mostly a puzzle to inheritors – even the BIG ones that become the myth itself, like culture, art work, pyramids and labyrinths left on the earth.

This reflection is inspired by the life of William Bill Vukovich, famous Vuky, legendary car racing champion from Indiana, and his descendants, three generations of Icarus. Sadly, both his grandchild Billy Vukovich III and himself have lost their lives in car racing accidents. Vuky married beautiful Esther, the love of his life. I found them on the internet yesterday and thought it would be interesting to share that with you.
