As it has been written;
"Knowledge is... Power"
"Power to the... People"
The power to nurture the 'Human Animal'
from its base 'Animal' core,
to that desired state of being 'Human';
Information is the road to Knowledge;
Knowledge applied well is Wisdom;
In Wisdom is the Power for Mankind's maturity;
False information brings about chaos
Whereas;
True information brings about order;
Chaos reasons Suspicion of ones neighbors,
Whereas;
Order develops Trust of ones neighbors;
Suspicion leads to a Confrontation by the uncertainty of 'Them',
Whereas;
Trust leads to Cooperation by an informed 'Us';
Confrontation quickly turns into Altercation,
Whereas;
Cooperation nurtures Benevolence towards others;
Altercation leads to the waging of War,
Whereas;
Benevolence promotes peaceful Co-Existence;
War inflicts Destruction on humanity and nature,
Whereas;
Co-Existence builds Moral Excellence, nurturing mankind's humanity;
Falsified information has a dire consequence,
as it alters the publics perceptions of life's events,
good and bad things become twisted and transformed;
As... good things turn into bad things;
As.. heros become villains;
The ability to rationalize a correct answer becomes lost.
Everything has turned into an ugly mess,
now faced with the choices of needed action,
how does one distinguish the friend from the foe?
Peace turns to War in order to survive,
from those villains with their bad things! or...
Did we just kill the heroes with the good things?
Lies & Deceit tears the morals of society apart,
breeding hatred and contempt for differing beliefs and ideas;
Hence... growth is stifled and mankind reverts to his Animal side.
Thus... falsified information improperly distributed,
is used to govern the actions of the masses,
creating a chaotic and dangerous world.
Truth & Justice nurtures a reverence for humanity,
promoting growth by stimulating new ideas and exploration;
Hence... societies humanity develops a standard of high morals.
Thus.. truthful information properly distributed,
information unbiased and accurate in its content;
Be that key then for a balanced and beautiful world.
