A simple question to which there appears
no rational response: What accounts for the
formidable reputation inspiring fear and loathing
in the minds of populations scattered throughout
the world, of the presence of a vanishingly small
number of those whose numbers represent a
mere fraction of a fraction of humanity within
a fractured world? Dragons never seen but given
credit for malevolent hostility toward humanity
no longer perturb the minds of the gullible who
since time immemorial have focused on the
intolerable presence of a people whose acumen
and abilities in every sphere of human endeavour
is outstanding, bringing benefit to the entire species
yet though they excel in the arts and sciences remain
viewed with suspicion and raging blame for all
misfortune visited upon humanity, earning deadly
ire that translates to violent rejection and a further
diminishing of their physical presence. While
despised as a people, they are held to a high level
of expectation through the human contract of regard
for others for which they have never required any
tutelage; their collective conscience and values in
a world of rejection a beacon of light in the dark.
