This sounds like my favourite image of Diogenes, surrounded by dogs;

Tell us some more about this. I think you've explained how it impacts on
yourself, how you relate to it, but remember we're not all the same;
different points of view; different modes of interpreting the world.
How long have you known it? Where did you first see it? A red-clothed
tailor? Sounds very related to some personal experience.
