Do Not Underestimate the Power of Fools in Large Numbers

Almost in every corner of this earth, powers of darkness are more powerful that the powers of light. The children of darkness are more united than the children of light. This is the main reason why it is very difficult, in fact impossible to fight such evils as corruption in many societies because those who engage in the vice are powerful and mighty and have everything at their disposal.

Many people have lost their lives and many disappeared without a trace simply because the underestimated the power of many fools. In the world of today, fighting such evils as corruption requires not only the talking but the brain and the wisdom of knowing when to talk, what to talk, how to talk, why and to who. Some, however, say that it is good to live like a lion for one day than to live like a rat for a hundred years. That is a point but what is the point of living like a lion for a day then eliminated and forgotten as those you try to fight continue to ponder the blunder of their loot?

Am not trying to justify evil but times and seasons have changed. Many countries, including Kenya have embraced capitalism as a way of life. Capitalism has made most people to live in the cocoon of God for us all and everyone for himself. This is what has led to the thriving of such evils as corruption as everyone is busy caring about their own lives. People no longer fight for the rights of others and those who try to stand out against evil are eliminated. Once eliminated, people cry, mourn and curse and then forget and that becomes the end of the story.

Fighting evil requires the brain. Do not just talk against corruption because you can speak but first keep silent, think and make a decision. Remember, when fools are combined, they are more powerful and more dangerous than any other group.
