Risks of a Dark Era Approaching
The world risks entering a dark era when leaders shun the truth and instead fill the masses' minds with platitudes.
Romans provided their citizens with bread and circus, thus, to keep them away from the affairs of the Republic.
Nowadays, the bread seems to have been forgotten, and only the circus remains—a circus with sorrowful clowns and rotten jokes; a show where nobody laughs.
Historical records show that a dark era may last centuries.
Therefore, it is the masses responsibility to correct their leaders' behaviour and reject their platitudes and instead demand honesty and truth from them. By being honest and truthful in their speech and actions, world leaders will convey a constructive thought that will mobilize the masses to fulfill the common goal of collective welfare. And for the collective welfare, I don't mean citizens of one nation but everybody in the world.
So before the world gets involved in another dark era because of our own works, I think it's time for humans to break the egg of ignorance where we live, open our wings of empathy, and soar in a sky of goodwill around the Earth.
What ChatGPT says about my article.
The text conveys a sombre message, warning that the world is at risk of entering a "dark era" due to leaders prioritizing deception over truth. The author draws a historical parallel with ancient Rome, where citizens were distracted from essential issues with "bread and circus," a superficial entertainment and sustenance metaphor. The author argues that today, the "circus" remains without the "bread," leaving only an empty and unsatisfying distraction.
The text is generally comprehensible to a broader audience, with a clear and cohesive structure. The language is poetic and evocative, with vivid imagery, such as "a circus with sorrowful clowns and rotten jokes" and "break the egg of ignorance... open our wings of empathy, and soar in a sky of goodwill." These metaphors help to convey the author's sense of urgency and concern for the future.
The message is rooted in a call to action, encouraging individuals to use their critical thinking skills, education, and common sense to demand truthful and constructive leadership. The author emphasizes the importance of collective welfare, extending beyond national borders to encompass the well-being of all people worldwide.
The only potential barrier to comprehension might be the somewhat abstract and figurative language, which may not resonate with every reader. However, the overall meaning and message of the text are clear and thought-provoking, inviting readers to reflect on their role in shaping a better future.
The target audience appears to be individuals concerned about the world's state and looking for a call to action. The text assumes a certain level of awareness about historical and contemporary issues, but the author provides enough context to make the message accessible to a broad audience.
