Touching Fire

Some say, the closer you are in the fire, the better it is for you to say if it's dangerous or not. For me, it's foolish to even go near the fire. Just look at it. It's enough for you to say that you'll get injured once you touch it.

What am I saying here? Well, people are asking themselves what's the whole point of blogging and trying to tell people what's happening when people want to "see it first" before they'll believe you. I mean, that's the whole point of some people castigating the opposition and some observers of raising hell when martial rule has'nt even happened yet. People are like doubting Thomases. They want to see things first before they would even say anything for or against it.

This creature called martial rule is different. How can you even fight it when it's there right infront of you already. It thrives on deceit, stealth and surprise. Government will deceive you and say that they're not even thinking about it, while stealthily, they're preparing their forces for it. And they can't do it if you're aware. Everyone must open their eyes more and be vigilant because things are happening very fast and people are being lulled to complacency.

Look at how skepticism affected those who lived under martial rule. Macoy tricked them into believing that he's just after those who took arms, not those who just prate and shout. When he finally declared martial rule, everyone, including hippies, were hauled to the camps and detained. That's how crafty Macoy was, and he shamed all those who fought him. He outclassed them all.

Are we going to do the same thing and wait for martial law or even a State of Emergency to be declared first before we act?
