“In the street of the blind, the one eyed man is called the Guiding Light.”
We have all heard this saying, in one form or another. What I have learned from this saying is that people are imperfect. It says that even the most perfect of people aren't perfect.
I see this applied today in our monetary systems and how one currency above all, can appear to be better than all of the others. Although this currency does appear to be better, we all know that perfection is only skin deep. As time passes on, perfection tends to show its inner failings, revealed as imperfections, which manifest into cosmetic fixes, meant to deceive the onlooker.
Cracks and lines begin to appear, yet the overall beauty of that perfection remains intact...until one exposes the methods used to maintain that perfection. The natural beauty is shadowed by the methods used to "makeup" for time.
We are no longer in the land of the guiding light. Perfection no more. When perception morphs into reality, because appearances/perception have a greater influence on the minds of people, than the damn facts presented by reality, you know the gig is up.

Excellent and concise article. I’d say even a caveman could understand it, but history shows that not true.
