The Dam

Imagine a doctrine as a Dam — built long ago to hold back the chaotic waters of what was deemed misinformation. Its walls were dogma, unyielding; its engineers declared:

“Doubt is a crack; questioning is a flood.”

For generations, the reservoir grew still, clear, and controlled.

No new streams allowed.

But the dam didn’t just stop pollution — it blocked the entire watershed, starving the valley below of nutrients only wild rivers bring.

Progress wasn’t purified — it was penned in.

And the dam’s greatest fear?

Not the water, but the truth — that every river changes its own course.
