I don't know if you travel a lot....

.....but if you do, you'll probably have noticed that near every great tourist attraction, there will be an artist sitting quietly at an easel. For a fee, this great creative talent will draw you with an elongated nose, an extended forehead, a longer chin or over-emphasized eyes. They will attempt to paint a picture which, whilst it undoubtedly is 'you'... isn't really you. It will lack subtlety. It won't really do you justice. 


We all have such an artist in our mind. It looks at situations and it sums them up unevenly and unfairly.



As far as we can discern, the sole purpose of human existence is to kindle a light in the darkness of mere being.  (Carl Jung)
