When the Sun of Culture Sets...

 

 When the Sun of Culture Sets...

Karl Kraus once said:
"When the sun of culture is low, even dwarfs cast long shadows."

And today, this perfectly reflects the reality in Iraq—where the sun of free thought and enlightened minds has faded, only to be replaced by sectarian dwarfs waving banners of false greatness.

Political religion has dismantled all that was once noble and beautiful:
The intellectual has been silenced, the scientist exiled, the voice of reason imprisoned. Empty slogans have taken over, where ignorance is now a virtue and party loyalty is valued above loyalty to the nation.

Pulpits of awareness have turned into platforms of ignorance.
Those who know nothing of history beyond their narrow myths are now hailed as leaders, immune to critique.
"Political sanctity" has become a mask for corruption, dependency, and destruction.

Karl Kraus was right—
When the sun of consciousness sets, dwarfs appear as giants upon the stage of ruin.
