Description


This was my July Contest entry on Team Effort... I had the idea from the ancient Buddhist parable of blind ones trying to define an elephant by touching it without seeing it whole. That's a metaphore of the Buddha wisdom, that encompass everything, but the blind ones (metaphor for common humans not trying to see things from other point of view) can only see bits of wisdom, so the trunk of the elephant resemble a pestle, another blind one touching the stomach says it's a pot, the tail resemble a rope and so on. The parable had them being born blind old men, I changed the concept to blindfolded , mixed humans for obvius reasons. I think it's a useful concept still today, to me it shows that sometimes we need an effort to see reality from other POV's. Feedback is appreciated. Be mean if you want.

A cartoonist in Playboy did his version, with a visiblyy disgusted blind man discovering the elephant's sphincter.
