History and truth are never adulterated. They must be presented to society as they are so that the present can always benefit from the experiences of the past.
Most of a human being’s average lifespan is spent in education, family responsibilities, or worldly entanglements. Little time remains to truly gain wisdom and experience. Therefore, it is always best that every individual learns from the knowledge and experiences of earlier generations, so that life may be shaped with both lessons and inspiration.
From this perspective, it is essential to understand history, past events, personalities, and their influence. Yet our community and even scholars allow us to probe only so far. Most people prefer to forget the past and live in the present. With few exceptions, nearly all spend life this way.
It is the misfortune of our society and our nation that we are taught not to remember the past, but only to move forward. This is why the present generation remains cut off from the knowledge and experiences of those who came before. A greater tragedy still is that we were never taught the difference between criticism and slander.
Cunning intellectual opportunists have ensured that every wrong, every forbidden deed—whether corruption, immorality, exploitation, or inhumanity—is conveniently placed under the category of “slander.” And discussion of such matters is prohibited.
As a result, the crimes of corrupt and wicked minds remain hidden under a shroud of silence. If anyone dares to expose their misdeeds to warn the younger generation, the immediate response is: “Do not slander, for it is a grave sin.”
Even after the death of such individuals—who ruined society and the nation with their corruption, tyranny, and exploitation—if someone tries to reveal the truth about their deeds, they are silenced again: “Do not speak ill of the dead.”
The youth of today wish to dedicate themselves to personal growth and the upliftment of society and the nation. They long to learn from the mistakes of past leaders and to carry forward the good. But this rarely happens, because the system protects wrongdoers by branding every truth-teller as negative or slanderous.
The eternal truth, however, is clear: to call wrong “wrong” is criticism, not sin. To call good “bad” is slander. Yet clever intellectuals have twisted this distinction for their own benefit, covering up the misdeeds of past generations.
Moreover, anyone who dares to express original truth is quickly branded as “negative-minded.” Wicked men do not wish to hear or see the truth. Their lifelong agenda remains fixed: to indulge in corruption, exploitation, plunder, and dishonesty while amassing wealth, luxury, and false prestige—without anyone daring to question them.
If truth surfaces, they erupt with outrage, raising a storm like rabid dogs, rallying other hypocrites and sinners to their side. Their cry is always the same: “Let things be as they are. Why stir negativity? Why indulge in slander?”
But never do they pause to ask themselves: What is untrue in what has been revealed? Instead of answering, they preach silence.
This silence of society has been its greatest weakness. Previous generations, too, had their share of mute spectators who never let truth see the light of day. By shielding the wrongdoers, they allowed corruption and immorality to thrive.
It is precisely because of these so-called intellectual traders and their hypocrisy that the dishonest and corrupt have not only flourished but also enjoyed honor and prestige. Neutrality and mute spectatorship in the face of injustice have pushed the nation into decline.
True courage lies in speaking the truth before society without fear—calling out what is against ethics, humanity, and moral values. Those who do this are the real human beings. The rest are either impotent spectators or servile pets, nurtured by their masters.
