Barack is the second in the series, “Nature of the Beast.”
Statement for the “Nature of the Beast” series:
Human nature is a vast cavern. It is difficult enough to know myself. Knowing my brother or sister’s soul would appear entirely impossible. To love is not to know but to coexist with peace inside yourself.
Celebrity is a most dangerous human condition. We cartoonize the famous. We turn a celebrity into caricature of a human being and judge them. But they do not really exist for us. Just their fame, which is only our own daydream. They are figments of our imagination.
In this way we can ignore our own nature. If another person is great, we turn him into a god. He is not like us. If he is weak, he is useless. He is not like us. If he destroys, then he is the devil. And most certainly not like us.
This is The Nature of the Beast.
