"In life I have met many learned men; some insightful, few wise, one original and none rational." -Scaracara

If the man is viewed as intelligence I feel this painting accurately depicts the instinctual persistent Human primeval thirst for knowledge even as the man withers away.

(Painting is not mine, It is Saint Basil "The Prayer" "Foolishness For Christ")

      @cire81 all men can be driven to irrationality whether it be love, anger or in search of power.
