Desires

On an old wall, he drew a big ox to the right with thrones pointing at his opponent. With his face pointing slightly down and angry staring eyes. A huge body and a very short feet. Making sure that they look unfit to hold all that body. Probably, it is attempt to show that the ox next move is uncontrollable and unpredictable. On the other side of the painting, there comes the opponent. A ninja looking guy, with his mast on and the only visible thing is his eyes. A thin body, and the feet are drawn wide apart to show that he is flexible. Compared to the ox, he looks tiny and cannot hold a battle. But, he is holding a stick in his right hand. Probably, a resemblance of using tools to support his mission.

The painter had a child in mind. A child who is fighting his cravings to candy and urges to stare at screen all day long. Maybe, those are too strong for him to fight right now. But, he is holding a stick which is the awareness that self-management is important. Or, at least that is what his mother has told him. As soon as he finished drawing, he thought.. How many of that same scenario repeats for us as adults?
