It's impossible for Suffering to continue reigning unchallenged over the kingdom Suffering will bring the kingdom to ruin or will perish itself. Humanity is beautiful, tender, loving. Look at the striking beauty of that woman's arm, protruding miraculously in the midst of such desolation. Look at the powerful balance of that man's body, standing erect against the sky.
