When I see this sketch, I think of inertia, and how hard it can be to break it. I'm not sure what's happening in the middle of the figure, maybe there are some kind of knots in the stomach, a kind of debilitating fear that prevents the figure from standing upright. Maybe it's a cop out, a refusal to stand on one's own two feat and take responsibility for the future.Sometimes I feel trapped by my own inner debate between fatalism and personal will. A lot of times I feel like I'm sitting back waiting for something to happen, I think it starts to become a habit more than a personal philosophy. Real fatalism requires being ready at any moment for anything to happen and exercising your personal will also expresses a rather dynamic state. Here, however, there is a reluctance to engage either way.
It reminds me of the "nine" on the Enneagram. Although I show some "four" traits, I have strong "nine" leanings. . .
