How have you been?

I'm just lazy in writing. 

Me? I'm pretty good because it's getting warmer day by day.

Recently, I'm mad against MSM or G○F○ because they won't report the truth or will cover up the truth deleting what seems to be inconvenient to them.

We the people cannot get what's actually going on abroad or domestically through MSM therefore we have to choose the media which is reporting the fact neutrally without any bias and also choose the platform on which we can be allowed free-expression without any censorship.  This was supposed to be a quite natural and normal thing in the countries of democracy.

As for covering up the truth, it reminds me of one of Aesop Fables titled "The King with Donkey Ears".  Of course, you knew, right?

Its summary is as follows;

A long time ago, there was a king who had big floppy ears shaped just like the ears of a donkey. The king was very embarrassed about his ears and always covered them up when he was in public so that the people of the village would never be allowed to discover his secret. The only person who ever saw the king’s ears was his barber.

The king often warned the barber. ‘You must promise never to tell anyone that I have ears shaped like a donkey, or I will put you in the prison where you shall remain for the rest of your life.’

The barber found it very hard to keep this secret because he wanted to tell all of the villagers about the king’s ears, but he always remembered the king’s warning and kept the secret to himself for many years.

But one day, the barber knew that he could keep the secret to himself no longer. He walked out of the village into the countryside where he was sure that he was all alone. Then he found a patch of reed and began to dig with his hands. He made a very deep hole, and he leaned over into it and shouted at the top of his voice, ‘The king has ears shaped like a donkey! The king has ears shaped like a donkey!’

Once he had shouted out the king’s secret, the barber felt much better. Then he covered over the hole with earth and reeds and returned to his home.

One windy day, the villagers hear a song whispering, “The king has ears shaped like a donkey! The king has ears shaped like a donkey!” The song was soon spread among all the villagers.  They all giggled and laughed because they now came to know why the king always covered up his head whenever he was out in public.

It did not take very long before the king realized that everybody knew his secret and was very embarrassed and very angry.

But the king did not put the barber into the prison because the whisper of reed spread it.  Since then, the king did not cover up his ears and tried to listen to the villagers' voices very well.  The villagers love and respect their king very much.

From Aesop Fables

Man is only a reed, the weakest in nature, but he is a thinking reed.

Blaise Pascal, Pensées No. 200

 We, each one of us, are a thinking reed.  We can spread the truth as a VOICE.
