To Probe or Not To Probe, This Is the Answer

“Just as it is impossible not to taste the honey or the poison that finds itself at the tip of the tongue, so it is impossible for a Government servant not to eat up at least a bit of the King's revenue". Katyla, 300 BC

Our Own Worst Enemy: The Iniquities of a People

To be your own worst enemy:  to cause most of your problems or most of the bad things that happen to you yourself, because of your character.

A few years ago, I wrote an article entitled “A People Beyond Redemption”. Four years later, the psyche of my people remains the same, and I realised again that we are our own worst enemy. Of course I don’t expect my writing to change 160 million people. (Who am I?)
