Illusions

There are no secrets in life, just hidden truths that lie beneath the surface. Life is full of hidden truths and mysteries covered in pretentious postures as each of us try to put our best foot forward publicly though we know ourselves best in our individual closets. It is intensely real and practical, and there are no illusions about it. To use the word secret is to be easily understood, whereas “mystery” suggests to the ordinary mind something remote from comprehension. By “secret” the simple meaning is that something was not made known, but hidden, or kept in reserve. Dear reader, sadly that posture is nothing more than living in a fool's paradise. Evidence and experience attest to the notion that the secret of life is no secret but illusions. Life is like a mirror reflecting the image of the object placed in its view and hence life begins when you do and it slows down when you do.  

Nothing can be hidden forever. It has to come out from hiding eventually. A stronger force that we call conscience brings about a great push or haunt to bring the facts (blot on the mind) out into the open, and have perpetrators exposed. The conscience like any other sensory organ reaches a certain point, when it becomes so powerful that nothing can prevent it from bringing about a response (confession). That point has been reached, and the facts which have been collected of various incidents are on the verge of becoming public. No crime against humanity can be hidden forever, and the revelations will be part of the cleansing. I am now in a house where crimes have been committed and hidden. I am here to investigate. I do so by observing the suspects in their living room as the deeds not made known previously began to unravel. Take lessons as the drama unfolds.

 

Judas is a house boy who drinks the exotic and expensive wine of his boss Mr. Smart with impunity and then adds water to cover his tracks.

Mr Smart was suspicious and decided to buy pasties (this is a type of special French wine that automatically changes colour if you add water just like dettol antiseptic does).

Unknowing, Judas, drank from the wine and topped it up with water as usual and put it back in place, kaput.
Sadly for him, everyday for the thief man, one day for the owner and so immediately he added the water the pasties became milky and when Mr Smart returned, he noticed it, and he knew he had nailed Judas. Judas also observed the difference this time after his act hence knew he was in trouble and decided to stay put in the kitchen when Mr. Smart returned home.

Mr Smart told Mrs Smart about what he observed.

“Judas!”, he called from the sitting room.

He answered: “Yes, Boss”.

“Who drank my pasties?”.

Judas: No answer.

Mr Smart asked again: still no answer.

Then Mr Smart personally went to the kitchen to meet Judas there:
“Are you insane or what? Why when I called you, you answered “yes boss” but when I asked you a question you didn’t answer me? ”

Judas retorted, “eeeiiiirrre boss when you are in the kitchen you don’t understand anything at all, except your name”

“Is that so?” asked Mr Smart, “Alright, go to the bar stand beside Mrs Smart while I’ll go into the kitchen and then ask me a question”

Judas accepted the challenge and smartly outwitted Mr Smart unexpectedly. When his boss got went to the  kitchen he shouted: “Mr Smart”.
“Yes, Judas” Mr Smart answered. Judas then asked, “Who goes into the maid’s bedroom when Mrs Smart is not at home?”

No answer.
Judas shouted again: “Mr Smart, I say who sneaks into the maid's room when madam is not in the house?”

No answer.

Mr Smart runs back from the kitchen shouting “Wonders will never cease! Judas, It is true, when one is in the kitchen, one does not hear anything, except one’s name.”

Mrs Smart interrupted, “that’s not true. It’s a lie without argument.” Judas asked if she’ll enter the magic kitchen to be tested. She agreed.

Judas asks Mrs Smart, “Who is junior’s biological father? Me or Mr Smart?”

Mrs Smart rushed out of the kitchen. “This kitchen needs to be fumigated, I can’t understand anything. 

Judas, Mr and Mrs Smart are no other characters than you who is a purported conspiratorial person who is pretending to mastermind events and control your public perception. All of us at one point in time or the other normally organise and interpret our sensory stimulation by distorting reality. Ecclesiastes emphatically proclaims all the actions of man to be inherently "vain", "futile", "empty", "meaningless", "temporary", "transitory", "fleeting," or "mere breath" as the lives of both wise and foolish men end in death. Life is too short to live a lie, end the illusions as life is meaningless and vanity of vanities, all is vanity.
