Historically lenses recorded simple images, some say truths. Thomas Mann wisely agreed "that the main purpose of art (images) is this, that it tells the truth about the soul, revealing and giving expression to all the secrets that one cannot say in simple words...Art is a microscope that the artist focuses on the soul, and that then reveals to men the secrets common to them all secrets that one cannot say in simple words."
Incontestably, we possess both simple words and technology for biomonitoring which demonstrates people worldwide are at risk form pandemics such as HIV and TB. It is the minorities, the children and vulnerable groups that are at risk worldwide.
Are we to blindly believe that poverty and disease are not endemic in all societies? If so education is a false, blinding atmosphere, nothing more. The North-South lens has a global health landscape which exposes the truth, but often people refrain from digesting the truth because it is unpalatable and risks forever changing their current visual and socioeconomic lens. The North-South health landscape can only change if the people's vision of truth sustains change. If a balance in truth is clearly sighted we can no longer misrepresent information microscopists are conveying. The soul's truth is: it is the minorities, the children and the vulnerable groups that are at risk from the true and current danger of pandemics worldwide.
The commonalities lens sees AIDS better
