According to Greek mythology, humans were originally created with four arms, four legs and a head with two faces. Fearing their power, Zeus split them into two separate parts, condemning them to spend their lives in search of their other halves.

Seaside, Florida. I wish I could have a place like this by the beach. I could live here forever. Not thinking thoughts that makes my heart sad right now.
Taken by someone else.
I was passionate,
filled with longing,
I searched
far and wide.
But the day
that the Truthful One
found me,
I was at home.

though i regret purchasing a ticket and supporting a system that locks up living creatures, i wanted access to taking these photographs. these pictures display my contemplations on animal captivity. i'm no a animal rights activist, but i still hope the pictures stimulate thought.
I found this momentary painting on one of the fences of a building site on the Aura river, Turku, Finland. The disagreement between the reality around the fence (freezing cold, snow) and the painting struck me.

Inspiration from this guy's video youtu.be/lqZ0-PhHsaE
"Three passions have governed my life:
The longings for love, the search for knowledge,
And unbearable pity for the suffering of [humankind].
Love brings ecstasy and relieves loneliness.
In the union of love I have seen
In a mystic miniature the prefiguring vision
Of the heavens that saints and poets have imagined.
With equal passion I have sought knowledge.
I have wished to understand the hearts of [people].
I have wished to know why the stars shine.
Love and knowledge led upwards to the heavens,
But always pity brought me back to earth;
Cries of pain reverberated in my heart
Of children in famine, of victims tortured
And of old people left helpless.
I long to alleviate the evil, but I cannot,
And I too suffer.
This has been my life; I found it worth living."
Bertrand Russell
