EVERYONE HAS SOMETHING TO HIDE

-Everyone has something to hide, except me and my monkey- said John Lennon once, and I believe him. His acid criticisms were aimed towards those who lived their lives according to codes previously set by society, constantly hiding true emotions and desires. If you wanted to fit in, there was no choice but to live and play by the rules. Those rules that society establishes with an unknown origin. Things are not much different today. Although we have come a long way since the days in which you had to be a cynic to survive. Much of that mentality remains. Just take a look around, politicians, movie stars and business men often contradict themselves when they find themselves in a hot spot. Wars are taking place at this very moment because someone refuses to admit that they were wrong. Children are dying because business men and presidents worldwide simply look the other way and pretend not to see. Are we so blind that we cannot see the world around us? Has mankind become numb to the awful truth? Have we become more animals and less humans? Perhaps evolution stopped somewhere along the way. Perhaps we are proving Darwin's theory right, and we are going straight back to where we come from. And maybe, just maybe that's what John Lennon meant by "me and my monkey".
