From the page: Theory of Natural Man
" The first man who, having fenced in a piece of land, said "This is mine," and found people naive enough to believe him, that man was the true founder of civil society. From how many crimes, wars, and murders, from how many horrors and misfortunes might not any one have saved mankind, by pulling up the stakes, or filling up the ditch, and crying to his fellows: Beware of listening to this impostor; you are undone if you once forget that the fruits of the earth belong to us all, and the earth itself to nobody. "

â�,�” Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Discourse on Inequality, 1754

From the page: Though resources may be lacking, especially during periods of economic struggle, the poor understanding of mental health issues exhibited by law enforcement officers and other authority figures suggests that education will play a key role in resolving the problem.

Facing social stigmas and personal qualms about mental health care is a challenge faced by many of those who decide to seek healing through professional services, but being barred from such services and instead treated as a criminal is likely an experience capable of exacerbating taxes on well-being.

Thank you dobedobedo for another wonderful contribution.
From the page: "Moral of the story: Just because you can't see God, doesn't mean He is not there.


'For we walk by faith, not by sight.'"

"When I was small I saw some paintings in my grandma's house. They were pretty typical -- reproductions of paintings of some famous artists. It's not that I didn't like them, but only now do I truly understand how many talented artists are really out there. I can find something that's dear to my heart and I don't have to buy a painting just because the original artist is famous. There are more options available to us. The surreal and strange paintings here in this collection help us visualize something beyond what we consider "normal" -- they allow us to imagine alternate realities, dreams, and even nightmares. The artists use different techniques and mediums, and some of the works rather remind me of illustrations or 3D graphic design work. Still, I love the diversity and I hope you will enjoy them as well."
