Dystopia is not around the corner. It is with us.
To refuse to see evil is to invest in blindness.
To unhear evil is to muffle the ear of conscience.
To ignore the wailing of those crushed by the filthy rich.
Those who profit from blindness will pay to keep it opulent.
So in these times:
To see is called madness.
To unsee and unhear is called sanity, wisdom, sagacity.
Perhaps that’s why it’s said:
It takes mad people to believe the world can change.
But this madness makes perfect sense.
It is outrage against malfeasance.
Rebellion against inhumanity.
Dissent against degradation.
And it refuses the criminalisation of conscience.
It only pleads for a rehumanising order.
