World, Man and Wealth.

I was experimenting with A.I. on Canva's Text to Image feature. I had written an essay on the spirituality of materialism on Medium.com and wanted to generate a suitable cover photo which captured an essence of my essay. I wasn't expecting much but Canva's A.I. surprised me with this image.

The image represents a successful and powerful man looking at treasures underneath a tower. The tower is a silo used to store grain inspired by the story of Joseph in the bible. The mountains represent spirituality and permanence. it also represents challenge and a sort of discipline required to overcome it. The man has to choose between spirituality or material prosperity. There is no wrong or right answer. It all lies in perspective.

My perspective is that the man has already chosen spirituality, but he is still tempted by materialistic wealth. He is at a crossroads of sorts.
