Will it Surface?

It is said that a lie becomes a truth if you are not caught. It is also said that lying is bad, a sin to be more exact. Sadly, roles have turned, lies became truth; the truth is maimed to look like lies. Old human virtues like honesty, honor, integrity and credibility have all been replaced by deceit and what they call cleverness. Those concepts of old have become so dead that we morn them in the movies, their only applicable domain.

It also said not to give power to those who do not know how to use it, not to give freedom to a slave. How can you expect a slave to rule? How can you expect a bird caged its entire life to fly? To let them free you have to teach them, to let them understand you have to train them. Not doing this will produce a world much like the one we are in today, slaves with power turning against each-other. Slaves with power who would do anything to remain in power; not because power is tempting, but because they are so afraid to get back to a cage;

Have we abandoned our humanity for the sake of virtual values? Or are we simply trying to survive? Will a jewel stand out from a pile of trash or remain there buried forever? If the jewel ever found a way out, will there be anyone to admire it?
