I agree wholeheartedly. It's a question that has been asked and never answered since the 4th person showed up way back in the beginning. Great job with the image!! Rick

I fear we will never evolve to the point where we all get along... it isn't in the nature of those who rule the planet. Excellent scene and thought my friend.

Wow good point.. I think it all the money that was spent on wars was spent on sending people traveling to see the other parts of the country we would all gain respect for everyone and the wars would end.. just my thought maybe simple but I do believe it would help more than harm.

We are artists. That's why. We have learned to see the world from all angles. I bet you never heard of a riot at an opera. Art people are just more chill and accepting.

An acceptably constructed photo manipulation. Hate has literally nothing to do with conflict on either an interpersonal level or the international level and certainly has zero relevance to the question when military forces are mobilized and nation’s war. Usually a conflict of values, or a poisoned conflicted philosophy ignites conflict.. An act of evasion can also lie at a conflict’s core. If you think about this I am sure it will become obvious to you. I find it poignant in this context that the foreground figure is turning away in evasion. Perhaps he represents the nation which struck out in hostility. Evasion usually manifests an all consuming fear in the individual (or party) guilty – fear that their evasion will be discovered. Fear of being discovered causes them to strike out. In regards to evasion Rand states the following via her character John Galt: ”Thinking is man’s only basic virtue, from which all the others proceed. Man’s basic vice, the source of all his evils, is that nameless act which all of you practice, but struggle never to admit: the act of blanking out, the willful suspension of one’s consciousness, the refusal to think—not blindness, but the refusal to see; not ignorance, but the refusal to know. It is the act of unfocusing your mind and inducing an inner fog to escape the responsibility of judgment—on the unstated premise that a thing will not exist if only you refuse to identify it, that A will not be A so long as you do not pronounce the verdict “It is.” Non-thinking is an act of annihilation, a wish to negate existence, an attempt to wipe out reality. But existence exists; reality is not to be wiped out, it will merely wipe out the wiper. By refusing to say “It is,” you are refusing to say “I am.” By suspending your judgment, you are negating your person. When a man declares: “Who am I to know?” he is declaring: “Who am I to live?” Dropping below the level of a savage, who believes that the magic words he utters have the power to alter reality, they believe that reality can be altered by the power of the words they do not utter—and their magic tool is the blank-out, the pretense that nothing can come into existence past the voodoo of their refusal to identify it. It is not any crime you have ever committed that infects your soul with permanent guilt, it is none of your failures, errors or flaws, but the blank-out by which you attempt to evade them—it is not any sort of Original Sin or unknown prenatal deficiency, but the knowledge and fact of your basic default, of suspending your mind, of refusing to think. Fear and guilt are your chronic emotions, they are real and you do deserve them, but they don’t come from the superficial reasons you invent to disguise their cause, not from your “selfishness,” weakness or ignorance, but from a real and basic threat to your existence: fear, because you have abandoned your mind, guilt, because you know you have done it volitionally.” – from Galt’s Speech in “For the New Intellectual” Ayn Rand. Your visual composition is fine, otherwise …

Very clever interpretation of this theme !
