4 Horsemen of the Apocalypse

Many speak in apocalyptic terms these days, for various reasons.

Four reasons that are most certainly not at work are

creative giving (other), clarity in shared direction of East
contentedness (influence), clarity in shared direction of West
aliveness (self-image), clarity in shared direction of South
awe (reality model), clarity in shared direction of North

On the contrary, four reasons most certainly are

wantonness (other lacking)
dissatisfaction (influence lacking)
deadening (self-image lacking)
chaos (reality model lacking)

It’s an ancient dynamic. Consider the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse

pestilence (white horse)
famine (black horse)
death (pale horse)
civil war (red horse)

And Pandora’s Box —

A story where rightful attention is rarely given the four men whose gaming of the box led them to heroically collide, and in so doing put Pandora in a terrible predicament. Their positions relative to the box correspond each to one of the four OKIC First Myths.

Hero type	Name	First Myth
the avenger	Zeus	”feel it all”
the fire thief	Prometheus	”have it all”
the tool fool	Epimetheus	”be it all”
the box-maker	left a mystery	”comprehend it all”

Yes, I’m looking at you, guys.
