A Justified Falsehood based on the story The Rabbits Who Cau

The modern society is the mass of contradictions, flashy believes, blatant views and the widest disparity of political convictions. Many of us stay politically indifferent and prefer to remain distant and aloof, while others claim a doubtless political awareness. Yet, being far beneath high-ranking officials and particularly, those who currently at the helm, everyone enjoys unanimously talking and squabbling and politicizing about the political heat and corruption; the media spends enormous amount of time on such “triviality” as west paternalistic ideas and actions, the dirty games of the government, the hypocrisy and true intentions of politicians.
