Causing suffering in other is a primordial feeling that originated in our reptilian hind mind.Like when you see a cat playing with a rat.Its beautiful, seeing the distress and futile cries for helps of such a powerless creature.There is no wonders dictator always cause suffering to others, it feels good to laugh at them begging and being pathetic, the sword equalizes all it doesnt matter id they are smarter, beautiful, rich, old, ... They are all meat for the slaughter
This boring. You're boring. Let's post paintings we like instead of whatever shit that was.This is quaerens quem devoret, a painting by Jean Paul Gerome. Apparently it's in the orientalism category, presumably because lions are eastern? Anyway.
>>18282445I'm also retarded enough to forget the picture. I'm also fond of Vasily Vereschagin (sp)'s works, especially the mausoleum at shah-i-zinda and most landscapes by dutch golden age masters. Strangely I don't find most american painters too compelling, though Frederic Edwin Church's A Cross In The Wilderness is alright. Oh, and Gerome's crucifixion painting, but that's rather overtly religious.
>>18282428wrong, those feelings are not due to causing suffering
