No one will ever witness this rite, not even those taking part in it: it is an allegory. An invisible transaction. This is how the corruption of the spirit operates, creeping into the vanity and weakness of anyone who yields to the lust for power or control, at any level. Those who take the bait undergo a true mutation: they lose their human traits. It is a deliberate choice. One trades their freedom for privileges, protection, or an illusion of dominance, always underestimating that the value of what is lost forever is infinitely higher than what is merely taken on loan.
