In every corner of society, in every institution we trust, in every system we navigate-there exists an illusion.
They tell us that justice is blind, that hard work leads to success, that truth is sacred. They promise us freedom, fairness, and prosperity. We are taught that the world operates on merit, that progress is inevitable, that our lives are governed by principles designed to uplift us.
And yet, beneath these carefully crafted narratives, beneath the illusion of choice, beneath the veil of hope-there is
control.
