Under Siege

In a society where evil and corruption have taken root, goodness finds no place to blossom.
Little by little hypocrisy replaces honesty.
arrogance overshadows kindness
and ugliness wears down what is pure.Yet even so, purity and humanity rare as they may be
remain our most precious possessions
for if we lose them
nothing of our true human nature will remain.The truest form of courage is this.
to stay human in the midst of cruelty
to remain a light in the darkness
and to continue with sincerity and integrity
despite the overwhelming noise of corruption.This reflection was inspired by Dostoevskys The Idiot
a story where pure goodness struggles to survive in a broken world.
