In the good old days, there was a saying,
"there is no smoke without fire". Today, the smoke is as fabricated
as the fire. Distorted, even baseless versions of reality are making rounds,
being magnified and creating chaos. There may not be an iota of truth but it
still becomes a popular story, the more "spicy", and the better.
Why? For one, people are empty within and
like vultures outside. Sorry! These prey on dead bodies. Humans prey on live
ones. Fanning fires, twisting facts, igniting conflicts based on caste, creed,
religion, stopping at nothing to satisfy greed... this has become the world of
the predator, the most dangerous trait among people today. You would never
guess from the outside demeanor who was out to destroy you.
Your reputation can be torn into shreds in
a minute through "evidence" completely fabricated and you couldn't
defend yourself without proof. Not a modicum of either ethics or remorse. So,
what smoke and what fire? Truth went up in smoke and flames long ago.
