Concealment is an art. Once perfected, it traps its user in the agony of being unable to speak the truth ever again. Not because he does not want to, but who would believe a person telling "the truth" when he had already convinced them that the opposite was infallible. One can laugh it off and say that it's a matter of choice. If one chooses to conceal, then he'll have to live with the consequences. However, the unfortunate truth is that concealment is often a result of circumstances, rather than choices. We all would like to live in a transparent world, but knowledge is power and where power is concerned, self-interests will be affected. It ultimately boils down to the question- Are we ready for the truth? Logic prevails in the absence of morals, can we accept that?
