THE IRONY OF SEEMING
by SIMU
There is a strange contradiction in this world…
A quiet, unsettling truth.
Sometimes the countries that claim no faith,
no divine allegiance,
no spiritual banner
are the very ones living out the most practical echoes of godliness:
justice that works,
compassion without performance,
systems that protect the weak,
and dignity that is not negotiable.
And then there are the nations that shout faith from rooftops,
heavy with rituals, loud with declarations
but hollow at the center.
Where hypocrisy walks freely,
where corruption dresses in sacred robes,
and where the actions contradict everything the mouth proclaims.
It is the irony of seeming
where the quiet unbeliever behaves more like a believer,
and the loud believer behaves more like a stranger to their own faith.
A reminder:
Holiness is not in the noise of worship,
but in the quiet truth of how we treat one another.
A Reflection from the SIMU Collection.
