… before you look below,… yes, there is a point I am trying to make with this picture, and you are free to think it cheesy or less than clever.
But bare with me…First, clear your mind.
Look into the blank portion of this post, and let the emptiness wipe the slate clean.

Now… how many faces do you see?…
I saw this picture at first and I only managed to notice the horses, but then the faces emerged from it.
You will begin to notice that, if you look at it for long enough, and you look deeper, more faces will reveal themselves.
The lesson for the day:
Everyone sees the world differently, and everyone takes a different view.
Some will see a few faces at first. Some will see all faces at first. Some will see no faces at first.
Everyone’s reality is unique, and despite this, there will always be those who believe that theirs is the only answer,
… that there ARE only *this many* faces, or there ARE none.This is called Exclusivism. It exists predominantly in religion and politics, and it is the notion that one persons take on the universe is superior to all others (holier than thou).
Yet, when you stop the overbearing thoughts of a psychological, totalitarian conformity of belief (or in this case, the ‘set’ number of faces), you realize that the truth is the exact opposite.
There is not ‘one’ static number of faces. …How many faces are REALLY in this picture?
There is no one answer. The answer is however many you choose.

I chose 11. Because, it is a solid prime, and it is what I saw without forcing.
