Pieter Brueghel's beautiful representation of winter in the Netherlands. The Netharlands, a very flat country, is depicted here with giant Alp-like mountains.
The Hunters In The Snow.
It's a complex world we live in sometimes, isn't it? We are blinded by our own beliefs and opinions, that we forget about those we hurt, and those we neglect. We see what we want to see, however when do we once try to attempt a journey into someone else's perspective? It's difficult, and even the strongest fail in the attempt. Who can blame them? This is where every conflict collides. Every war that has been fought and will be fought lies along the lines of fighting for one's beliefs. I ran across a book the other day that said this, "Violence may be innate in human nature but so is it's opposite: love. The next stage of humanity, the leap which we are poised to take, will be guided by the force of that love." Is this true, and if so, could this be just as dangerous? Yes, love is innately part of every human being, but many are blinded by love. Love is simple, love is kind but what about when love takes over every logical and rational thought that eventually everything we once believed in is mystified by an unrealistic notion of what is true? What is the truth really when mostly everything we are surrounded by is considered subjective. Everyone has opinions and will lead their lives based on those opinions. Basically, we're left in the same place, a fight for conviction, a fight of faith. But who is really right?
Here is a beautiful short film by Ben Briand called Apricot. The cinematography is just breathtaking and the music sets a perfect tone for such delicate yet strong characters. Here are a few still images from the short film.
