I added a GIF of Jamal Khashoggi being self-deprecating (and very funny) when he said in an interview that he wouldn't get to travel as much anymore (indicating that his eyes give away his "travelling" [visually]). I included a GIF of him because it was funny but also because he seemed to be a very wise man who could give young men in the middle east advise about spirituality and personal growth to understand "levels" (in the Afro-American use of the word, meaning that we should always look for levels and graduations in everything we do). The importance of understanding and seeking levels and graduations does not only apply to young men in the middle east but men and women all over the world.
A powerful image of the spiritual experience is self-sacrifice/torture as exemplified below.
One level of war/explosives/destruction: a bomb.
This explosive device is below a bomb but more fascinating and scary.
An atomic bomb is the highest expression of warfare.
I included the following GIF because I thought it was fascinating but also illustrative of levels/graduations of war.
The following dinosaur extinction GIFs were included to illustrate the nature of destruction/destroying things and to again create a mental graduation of violence. Where does a violent extinction event fit in the grander scheme?
The following GIF was included in part because it is part of the same theme but also because it is an excellent GIF to look at.
