The Lie They Called Tradition-kybie

Later that evening, I asked Mr. Ade the question that wouldn’t leave my mind.

“If it’s not tradition… why did they say it was?”

He sighed.

“Because it’s easier to control people with fear… than with truth.”

I looked down.

Tears fell quietly.

“So they lied to me… all this time?”

He nodded slowly.

“Yes.”
