A gallery of mixed emotions
A picture can in some contexts say at least as much about the photographer as about the subject. An artistic portrait is also a form of portrait of the photographer's inner self. Regardless, it would not be possible to create if there were not wonderful people to portray.

When the world of art becomes part of the ordinary world
Created from a original painting (open source) and my original photo mix together.
Allegorical scene – from Dante's Inferno, artist Cyprian Kamil Norwid. Created sometime between 1850-1900.
Labyrinth
I just want to honour you for the person you are and feel a deep, affectionate desire for you, without expecting anything in return or requiring any commitment. But to be able to express that, our words and feelings must first pass through a labyrinth full of thorn bushes, so easy to get lost in, bleeding and crying. It is as if we have entered an eternal purgatory, to feel and see that our finest emotion creates torment in each other. It’s as though we haven’t understood that the labyrinth’s purpose is to bring balance and calm, not to confuse those who seek its centre.
If, for some unfathomable reason, there were any gods looking down into this labyrinth, they would say: “Now you guys have to get your shit together. Shape up!”
“I was ashamed of myself when I realized life was a costume party; and I attended with my real face”
Guilt
Are all feelings of guilt always bad? Can feelings of guilt create something positive? Can feelings of guilt also bring excitement and pleasure? Is the feeling of guilt created by your own thoughts or it is by the judgment of others?
Is the guilt you feel before it becomes a guilt the worst guilt to feel?😈🙂
(I'm talking about guilt that can arise in ordinary life and not crime)
I received a very interesting thought from a person about guilt:
Guilt arises in the Self when it fails to deliver on people’s expectations. Those expectations, in turn, arise from various sources; societal norms, religious preachings, individual preferences. The Self should ask itself: ”Do I feel guilt because I should och because I can’t live with myself otherwise?” The answer to this question will set the Self free.
Another comment is more of a statement about feelings of guilt in life:
I feel guilty in most things I do. I often feel like I'm fake to those around me. No one said that. Just my feeling. If there's anything good about it, it's that I try to be humble to others, but the feeling of guilt is mostly annoying and more of an obstacle in life.

Have you comments or story’s about guilt, send a message. I'm curious about thoughts on this because I also believe guilt can be a driving force - unconsciously or consciously 🙂
