S: Have you heard the story of the survey of love between the oranges and purples?

A: No.

S: Of course you haven’t. I just made it up in my head.

A: Do tell.

S: There were more purples than oranges. The purples dominated everything and had the most of everything. But one day, the purples decided that they would ask the oranges how loved they felt in their community. But at the same time, they cheated. Because the purples would ask the question to themselves as well and dominate the answer.

A: Why?

S: To pretend that they loved them better. To pretend that they cared if the oranges felt loved. It was pure lip service.

A: And?

S: There were about a fifth of oranges in this community. And four fifths were purple.

A: The results of this survey?

S: It was completely predictable. Four fifths of the community thought that the oranges were adequately loved. And one fifth did not think that the oranges were adequately loved. So, going by the majority decision, they decided that they did not need to love the oranges any more or show them any more love.

A: Quelle surprise! The mathematics of the abomination of ‘democracy’, the plaything of the majority.

S: Now you know what counts for truth in this society. It is a pack of lies, hypocrisy and lip service.
