Symbolism over substance is the rhetoric of our times. <br />Better to feel good than to be good; better to say nice things <br />than actually being kind to others; better to tell a white lie <br />when the truth would suffice. Better to behave <br />like you have been here before. When in fact, <br />you are just as lost as everyone else…. <br />but someone has to lead the sheep to the slaughter… <br />and it might as well be you.<br /><br />Ted Sheridan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/false-idols/
