“Is this to be an empthy test?”
Exekias' painting
During 6th century B.C. Achilles killed the beautiful daughter of Ares, Penthesileia. Her death was mourned by the people.
As she fell dying in his arms, Achilles fell in love with her.
Exekias captured the moment for all posterity with his black figure amphora painting.

Two Towers
Twin Towers
It’s a subtle feeling
To fall in love with your enemy…
It’s even more riveting
To know that all along you were one of them.
The bewitching trance of the eye…
The revelation…
The seduction of the All-Seeing Eye,
And the clarity of its beautiful logic,
Transcendent,
Riveting,
Irrevocable…
Isn’t the penultimate desire of life…
To see?
Moloch resides within the Pyramid,
The drama of mortal coil unfolds…
It’s the storyteller who carries the thread of the ages
And weaves the fabric of our illusion,
Won’t you join me?
