In A Single Image

One manifestation of America's mental health problem

I'm guessing there's a minimum of $40,000 worth of guns in this picture.

In a kind of bare-bones setting where you lounge on a too-big sectional, watching a too-small TV - indulging in a daily ritual that celebrates comfort over culture - style over substance.

And I'm wondering - why has he arranged all the guns to be pointed at himself?

Symbology is important in that it can reveal a lot about how our brains work at the subconscious level - particularly so when we choose the symbols, and/or make the symbols for ourselves.

What does this guy think he's telling us, and what is he really telling us inadvertently?

It is a wonderment.
