They will come…looking for you one night

November 17, 2024 Reflections of a heretic

Only then will you realise that you have been a good teacher.

They will come… looking for you one night

You will be jolted awake, and then you will be horrified, for you never thought they could do this.
Then you’ll wonder what happened to your guards, for no one will defend you, and your money will be worth no more than the cost of a bullet.


They will come... looking for you one night


Then set your house on fire, just as you did their lives, and then you will understand how a life reduced to ashes can be burned.
Next, they will take everything from you : everything you have, everything except your life, because there is nothing worse than living a life with nothing left.

Finally, they will condemn you for everything you have done : for your cynicism, for your lack of humanity, for your arrogant presumption of omnipotence.

They will show you no mercy, as you have shown them no mercy.
Only then will you realize that you have been a good teacher.
