today’s lottery is the biggest in australian history (or so the ad posters in the lotto shop say.) with a total grand prize is aud 90m, even people who doesn’t usually buy the coupons like me took some effort to get some.
it is the hope that makes us human do something somewhat irrational. if we look at the bigger picture, we are more likely to be a horse/mule, lured by the promise of a carrot if we carry the trickmaster to his/her destination.
i was thinking to do some carricature about our current false euphoria. a picture, repeated four times with different texts, but hold similar context. but using a tablet to draw picture is not as easy as i thought, so i just make one picture, and label them with A, B, C, and D.
A = Advancing rider
B = Beast of burden (unsuspecting)
C = Carrot (reward)
D = Destination (of the rider, not the burden’s)
it is a very simple allegory. if you stop for a moment and think about it, you can have a different set of representation.
A = Ante organiser
B = Buyers (with hope)
C = Cash (millions of)
D = Dividend to the share holders
and put it further, you can have another different set:
A = “Apostles”
B = Beatific and devout followers
C = Celestial kingdom and afterlife
D = Domination over the country and people
