Do you believe in this moral?
I hope you will keep reading, even if you don’t.
But, I do.
Do you know why?
Here’s why…
Because pompous people are too blind to see anything and anyone but themselves.
They walk the darkest roads, convinced they are the light.
They build vast empire, believing they will last forever, into infinity.
They accumulate wealth and make fortunes, believing that they will never taste need or misery.
They look down on others, convinced that they are the superior, the supreme.
And they hate truth, evade it, and believe they are right even though they know they are wrong.
But…
Dark roads are dangerous, full of humps, holes, and perhaps even a massive trench. And fake light doesn’t give good light. Fake light doesn’t guide. Fake light doesn’t last.
That’s a pompous fall.
Empires may be vast in shape, in power, in wealth. But, before these empires, there were other great empires. All becomes history, and history teaches us we that the greatest empires can vanish in the blink of an eye.
Another pompous fall.
Do wealth and fortune guarantee true happiness or only the hollow repetition of the name without living its meaning? The pompous crave genuine happiness, dream of it, but what they grab is nothing more than the word itself.
Another fall.
Doesn’t it happen that the very ones the pompous looks down on, may one day become their keepers, their leaders, and perhaps even their partners? The tables turn.
Another fall.
Truth is objective, but the pompous makes it subjective. They miscalculate, misuse, and misjudge, intentionally. Then, instead of admitting their mistake, they raise their heads high, puff their chests, and announce that anything is possible. So, 2+2 can be five, or even ten if they think so. But, truth walks its own path, and survives.
Another fall.
And there can be more falls.
If there were no such pride, there would not be so many falls.
Got it!
Now, do you believe in the moral?
With hope and peace,
Nahla
