all living creatures have been betrayed.
they were born to live and love and be free.
but have been forced to fight and hate and serve death.
how has this happened?
one day, in a village in the hills of the great desert empire, a worker ant had a vision.
the worker ant was employed in a great factory making swords and javelins and arrows for the army of the great desert empire.
at midday, the ant was one of a platoon of workers being herded out of the factory for lunch and daily exercise.
a dark cloud passed over the sun, just above the highest hill on the horizon of the desert.
the ant took the occasion to step out of line and walk into the desert.
he had often wondered who was responsible for the way the world was - why it was organized into empires who spent all their energy into making weapons, planning war on each other, and occasionally even going to war.
and who fed their members only enough to give them the strength to work in the weapons factories, or to train for the coming warfare, or to work on the. farms that produced the food for the soldiers and workers.
was it one, or was it many?
was it the emperors themselves, of the rival empires?
or was there a mister big, or great evil one, who ruled the emperors?
or were there invisible hordes behind the emperors, or the great evil one , ready to thunder down upon any workers or soldiers or drones who rebelled?
one, or many?
the ant wandered deeper into the desert and met a locust, who lived as a hermit beside a small water hole.
the ant asked the locust the question? one, or many? who should i seek? on who should i claim the vengeance of the generations of cheated ones?
you can only search, replied the locust. but when you have found the answer, you will only have begun.
the ant continued across the desert.
