In Defence Of The Dragon
The Dragon is a metaphor for hope and justice in a world where there is no hope and never will.
It is easy to disregard the Dragon if suffering is not a part of your daily life.
- jjames 18y agoIt is an entirely other assertion that The Invisible Dragon alleviates suffering, beyond existing. Let's imagine those who say there is a dragon living in their garage contend that the dragon is a required salve for the harms of living in a hostile world. Though I can not prove (though still approaching with an open mind) the physical existence of a dragon in anyone's garage, I can not argue against the proclaimed effect on those who find their suffering abated. That is, the effect is real if you say it is; the dragon is not.
