I was actually going to ask Sideways to whom he was referring: the artist who made the picture, or the subject of the picture? I'd say, it's a tough call...
Incidentally, "two or three of us left," I recently heard it said of this section of the forum. Yet another matter on which I am wondering to whom the speaker was referring? And, why "two or three"? Is it so difficult to count that high, such that he was uncertain of the actual number? I mean, doesn't one usually know if there are either two or three of something?
Of course, in this cyber-world of pseudonyms, I suppose that it is entirely possible that even "two or three" may be an over-estimation. For all we know, there is only one person active here, who goes by different names, and yet is one and the same individual. I count three different names right here in in this thread, and yet, we may all be one.
Of course, there are those who believe quite firmly that, in fact, we are all one. But what, exactly, does that entail? Is it a seeming plurality that is actually a singularity, a genuine solipcistic universe in which there is only one thing in existence, or are we a plurality united in oneness by some cosmic connectedness that binds us all into a single whole?
If either of those suggestions are true, then both the subject and the artist of the first picture in this thread ought to be arrested, for they are, in some way or another, one and the same.
