Marcus Tullius Cicero once said it is the peculiar quality of a fool to perceive the faults of others and to forget his own
As ever they see but do not comprehend
Much easier it is to put the blame on others than to take on responsibility
Fools are well known for having to say something, anything, constantly
The art of distraction from their own mistakes pointing to any other direction is perfected daily
Fools sound wise, often sounding all knowing, and they are usually wrapped in an eye and sensory pleasing package
Their words are like honey dripped diamonds beautiful to see and hear but they seep into every corner sticking, blocking the truth
And blindly the masses follow without question or conviction mesmerized by the sounds of tinkling brass or sounding cymbals
In the end, we are all made fools
So then who is more foolish, the fool, or the fool who follows him?
