As we can see from the picture, a person was persuaded into a small cage by the two men down. The cage, with some snakes inside, was high up on four columns. He was told that he would be cured of his fear of snakes, heights, small spaces and commitment in just six hours in that way.
According to my understanding, the picture is describing a person with some mental disability. He prefers to stay in large spaces with others’ company. The two men down are very good doctors, trying to help cure the person of his illnesses. Instead of giving him some medicine, they had their own way of treating this patient, having him face his mental problems directly. The doctors think it more difficult for such patients to recover if they are only treated by means of pleasing them.
I think life is full of ups and downs. One can’t step away from challenges or avoid responsibility. On the contrary, we should face them with courage and wisdom.
