The classical Cerberus didn’t play a great role in diabolic iconography despite the recuperation of classical thought in modern times. In reality, the use of a dog to represent the devil, much less frequent than that of flies, cats and goats, came about at the height of urban life when country beasts were abandoned and hence domestic animals were demonised.
This Satan turned into a dog, which appears defeated at the feet of St. Michael is one of the best recreations of the figure. It is a Navarre sculpture from the middle of the 16th century whose present whereabouts are not known.
El Cerbero clásico no jugó un gran papel en la iconografÃa diabólica pese a la recuperación del pensamiento clásico en época moderna. En realidad la figura del perro como imagen del diablo, bastante menos frecuente que la de las moscas, gatos y cabras, vino por el apogeo de la vida urbana el abandono de las fieras del campo y la diabolización por tanto de los animales domésticos.
Este Satanás convertido en perro, en una de las mejores recreaciones de su figura aparece vencido a los pies de san Miguel, en una escultura navarra de mediado el s. XVI que actualmente se encuentra en paradero desconocido.
When we go to any fast food place, we know to NEVER expect getting on the plate what we see advertised on the sign above the counter. WE ACCEPT THIS as a matter of fact, just another "normal" aspect of our society! We do not even think about it! We might joke about it once in a blue moon, the same way we joke about the inflated promises that presidential candidates make, promises that almost never fully come true.

Let's just all be real with ourselves. Nothing is ideal, exact, things will never turn out perfectly. Life is flawed, and that's okay and I'm okay, I'll be okay. Problems are good, I think. They build character, they change us. Let's just accept this. Let's just all come back to reality.

The concept is inspired by an ad that I had seen in a magazine a few years back. I don't remember which magazine it was or what product it was promoting, but the image stuck in my mind.
Update:
Some of my friends have interpreted this picture in a different way than what I had intended. They think what I'm trying to say is that the worst is behind us and that there are good times ahead, maybe as an analogy to the fading recession.
The other way to look at it, and this is my view, is that we are far too complacent about the environment and that we take things lightly. While we know that something needs to be done, we think that the environment will not change dramatically in the near future and that we have plenty of time, and so we delay taking action. But in reality climate changes may occur sooner and with more intensity than we anticipate.
I would like to know what was your initial reaction when you saw this picture? Which one of the two thoughts came to your mind first, or did you interpret this in a different way? Please let me know.

Credits: The concept and the picture of drought are not mine. I did this to improve my skills with GIMP (more work needed on that), and to highlight the issue of climate change.
Update: Just saw this wonderful video by Annie Leonard on the flow of materials from extraction to disposal and the wastage inherent in this linear system.

Cognitive scientist Donald Hoffman is trying to answer a big question: Do we experience the world as it really is ... or as we need it to be? In this ever so slightly mind-blowing talk, he ponders how our minds construct reality for us.
Talk went online.
KEY HOLE
You might think, I am a peeping Tom. No, I am not.
Key hole shape makes you think that there is something special, interesting or fascinating behind the door......
Well, our lives are not so special, sometimes boring. More or less we have same problems, we try to get answer the same questions.
Disappointed?
Truth and lies every day.
Pretending, delaying, showing off, always fighting against of something.
Against all those stereotypes, systems, opinions and rules.
