Goal  

The ritualīs life.

"Why do people do these things?" was my question. The past, the present, the future was my timeline. The english, the spanish and the german were the different cultures... my answers were images. (Remember the middle age, where the ignorant people werenīt able to read, thus, having to learn the Bible this way).

The real goal was to find out how far the people read and interpretate when you give them the answers that were looking for, but:

Donīt give them too much text,
they wouldnīt read it.
Donīt give them only images,
they wouldnīt get the real meaning.
Donīt give them both,
probably it would be too much information.

At least, they understand it after an explenation.

Bocca della Verità: The eternal ritual, the life  

Our life is full of these, in every cultur, in every country, in every person is existing the ritual...

Everyone makes and follows them for knowing where we come from,
who is god or where we are going to.

We only do it, īcause we need to get answers, or hope, or try to forget the reality.
But the lifeline of the human kind is written before we were on it.

I still think that we could change something, but it seems to be as it is.
Itīs also not a profecy, itīll be just so.
