The desire for truth today is getting out of control. Everywhere, everyone, wants to know about it. It is akin to a buried jewel in your carpet. You may walk across, on top of it everyday, as long as you don't feel its presence, you don't mind not knowing its there.

But once you discover that there's a possibly that a jewel might be hidden in your carpet, you would never cease till you find it. Such, is the power of knowledge. No one wants to kept in the dark. No one willingly takes in lies unless they're trying to numb themselves.

Often, we fail to see the efforts it takes to hide the truth in the first place. Human nature has programmed us to always find out the truth, understand the world so as to help ourselves better. But never do us think about why the truth is hidden.

We despise those we hide it from us, those who deprive us of the gem. Only after getting hold of the gem, do we truly understand, why it should be hidden in the first place. Wouldn't it be too late then?
