Lord of the Flies


Digital illustration; 2013

“There isn’t anyone to help you. Only me. And I’m the Beast. . . . Fancy thinking the Beast was something you could hunt and kill! . . . You knew, didn’t you? I’m part of you? Close, close, close! I’m the reason why it’s no go? Why things are the way they are?”
As the drama of the pork scandal unfolds and the veneer of honor and respect is stripped slowly from our "leaders," we are reminded of the fact that each of us has the capacity to do evil. Are they testaments to the belief that achievement, ambition, the striving to reach the highest possible position in life -- the will to power as Friedrich Nietzsche describes it -- will ultimately triumph over innate good and moral conscience? I hope not.
