"In a group of 40 thieves, who among them has the moral right to punish the 39 others?"
TF
Good question.
Answer: Whoever has the audacity and the willingness to do so. One thing is clear: only the thief has all that it takes to track the footprint of another thief on a rocky path. That is a conventional wisdom that will always pass the test of time.
Seriously, "morality" among thieves is an oxymoron. Audacity and willingness are the watchwords. Let us face it: there is yet to emerge a true moral authority to challenge the enormous corruption in the homeland. It's a dilemmatic reality we must come to grips with. The words of Plato will always be true, "We have an ideal ideology, but where is the ideal man to carry it out?" The answer, my friend, is blowing in the wind.
Sad, and very sad!
