Yes, having a sore ear certainly gives you a whole new outlook on life.

Pondering this insight has revealed that randomly switching back and forth between symbolic and literal, much like jumping back and forth from absolute to relative when critiquing duality with non-dual logical absurdities, can juice up those old atrophied associations.

Outlook looks outward. Insight looks inward.

The proportion resulting from viewpoint positioning in space required to make an ear bigger than a mountain, or a head bigger than a mountain rather than exploded into chunks like a watermelon from hydrostatic shock, requires insight rather than outsight. This is because looking outward to see an ear bigger than a mountain would require literally positioning one’s out looking eyes somewhere within Trump’s personal space, uncomfortably close to his face, and that just isn’t practical for the majority of folks unless they're licensed to be there, such as an M.D. or other ear inspector, or a barber. Such a person would see, literally see, that Trump's head is bigger than the distant mountains, which it figuratively also is when considering implications.

I couldn't say, as I don't understand a word of that.

You might have a point, but I don't suppose we will ever know.

I figure you have the capacity to know.

The point is that da Vinci, somewhere within the aforementioned bookends of dates, discovered an illusion of visual perspective that synergizes with the reality of inherent perceptual recognition. Before him, the art-world must have been so boringly two-dimensional. Before da Vinci, appreciating three dimensions as representational art required lugging around a statue, or at least a bust.

The rest is simply playing around with the idea that the kiss of death results in nothing more than a sore ear, which apparently was your point.

I'm sure the nick on Trump's ear is fine now, whereas I believe the man killed in the shooting is still dead. There were two others injured, but I don't suppose we are concerned with those.

What Harbal saw, and what it means to him.

Oh wait, correction.

What does what Harbal saw mean to Harbal?
