This comment,(from ronknights), has me going in different directions ..also off the topic. ....I checked out the gallery of JHoagland...hopefully by expressing what is commonplace in our society is not indicative of the artists state of mind....but reflection of what is happening all around us...a concern. My work, which all is not present in the Renderosity gallery, is much in the same vain, at least the depression/societal/violence work.....it is important that this type of emotion is brought out, so we understand that it exists, and hopefully can do something about it. Our society does not show compassion for those in need,(this is a broad stroke, but you know what I mean), but more often will continue the path for the individual by pressing them down even further, until they feel they are suffocating under the weight....then snap.... Even though, we, as a society, insist we care for each other...I think many do not understand what their actions and words really say to each other, or perhaps really don't care as long as they have and get what they want. Those with power directly suppress those who don't...those physically stronger supress those that aren't....and the words of many of us suppress other's minds. Sometimes it takes someone who is suffering to show the rest of us the reality. For those that are suffering, please talk about it...for those causing the suffering, please look at yourselves and understand what you are doing.

Humankind has not woven the web of life. We are but one thread within it.
