Facing
Triangle person is facing left with grumpy expression, with many other pleased triangle-people walking right. The caption says: “If you think:”, and the thought bubble above the grumpy person says: “Why is the world going backwards?”
The second image shows the same setup, except now the grumpy Triangle is facing right and the people are walking left. The left-most side is labeled “future”, the right-most side is labeled “past” and also shows a baby, a bow and arrow, a dinosaur, a rotary phone and a wooden wheel. The caption says: “Double-check which way you are facing.”
The might of the group is not always right, but neither is being grumpy.
Alternative option is facing happily into the past. In Māori world-view, the reasonable thing to do is to face into the past, which isn’t necessarily seen as backwards. After all, there is no point facing towards something that’s invisible. Instead of staring at the unknowable future, it’s much better to keep an eye on the ancestors and history, and let them inform the future actions.
