Completely agree. Sometimes I have wondered if all the social problems, all the problems in the world, are nothing more than simply the sum of all the personal problems. Maybe everything can be traced back to our psyche. In that case, the saying that says something like fix the man and you fix the world would really make sense.
Not only do I think that the powerful transfer their fears and desires to the majority of the population to the point that the ruled identify with the ruler, - that is something that I think Gramsci said somewhere, even though his approach is Marxist - but that people want the powerful to have the same fears and desires, the same will, as they do. It works in both directions. And I think that if the rulers spend a lot of time disagreeing with the people, they are eventually overthrown. Let's hope so.
I quite liked your drawings, the first one is particularly good, the woman and the shadow. I would like to draw like that, but my skills are the same as those of a ten year old.
Cheers!
