Blinded by the Spoken

Angels are known to be benevolent and pure. They grace the corners of the earth without leaving a trace of their presence. Humans are complex creatures who experience an array of feelings and emotions, including happiness, sadness, envy, and fear. Yet are angels not also, in a way, human?Through a long journey, an angel must decide if what she hears is the truth or merely what everyone wishes to believe. She must decide if everyone turns a blind eye and denies what is in front of them or if she is the one deluded by a facade.The mind is capable of creating countless delusions and fallacies. Human nature has its own emotional tendencies that affect our perspective. Happiness makes the world shine a little brighter. Anxiety can overwhelm us with fear. Jealousy has a way of justifying wrong actions. Anger can tear down empires. Love can create almost anything. But humans always follow what others believe, don't they? Which truth will she find to be the real truth? The belief set forth by nearly all she meets or what she comes to discover when she takes off the blindfold?
