Peter, List:

Is it possible that what is missing from this philosophical discussion is 
simple human compassion?

The Holy Family were destitute in a foreign land.

in parallel sentence structure for the image (icon) without regard to the facts 
not stated of the two images,

The refuges are destitute in a foreign land.

Of course, the concept human compassion is seldom an acceptable argument in 
semeiotics, or is it?

Cheers

Jerry
