I found this picture on the web and felt compelled to share it with you, my friends. This infant represents all of us at one point. We arrived on this planet with nothing: a blank slate. Innocent, helpless, but so pure.
Then, programming began, by our parents, families, schools, and society. I always think about this whenever I hear news of someone committing terrible acts, or had committed these evil acts like trying to wipe out a nation through genocide. It boggles my mind.
Who taught that child to grow up and become so heartless?
Who did what to him or her?
What happened to them from infancy to the point where such evil became possible?
These are the questions that flood my mind.
In the image, you can see the child being surrounded, almost rushed with symbols and ideas from this world. One of the most prominent themes is religion. The Bible, the Quran, and other sacred objects are being presented to the child, offered as influences.
It’s a powerful image. Take a moment to soak it in as I did, and see what you take away from it.
There’s no right or wrong interpretation.
Your perspective is valid.
