“Flocks”

Mr. Jemo

I am watching your videos. You are a fiction writer. You write stories successfully because you have imagination and language. You earn well too. Why do you try to educate us on ethics and lifestyle? Is there no one here to tell us what is beneficial and bad? Why do writers take this task? We are struggling to politicize people. Writers should do what they are good at.

Dear Panpozhilan,

Today politicians are teaching people ethics, morality, as well as culture, history, and other relevant topics. I think, like many common folks, you also believe that politicians are only qualified to preach these topics. Some religious leaders and preachers are also doing this same thing. I am not saying that they should not do it. There are millions of people who want to listen to what they say. So they say it. Good.

However, the people I am addressing are a relatively small group. They show no interest in listening to those who want to rule them and steal their money. They are not willing to accept simple propaganda, divisive strategies, and fanatical beliefs. As a writer, I am talking to them.

You cannot enter this world just as I cannot enter yours. So instead of looking at this circle and fuming, take care of the flocks gathering around you.
