My concern so far in all my attempts at writing has
always been to mirrior the social conscience of our age
and to reform, where possible, certain ills of our society.
I see into and through the conceits, hypocrises, weakness, selfishness and wickedness of mankind and laugh
or weep. What can I do? I can't change the course
of life were I even a Hercules. But I can comment and
tell the truth as I see it; without hyprocrisy, without
sentimentality, without any ulterior motive, without
malice or bitterness. I have always thought that the
business of writers is to commend the virtues as well as
to expose the faults of their contemporaries; to confute
as well as support a just accusation, to find out real
crimes which are sufficiently grave and threatening to
the social order and to caution people against same.
There are certain social depravities which mankind has
suffered through the ages and bribery and corruption
are among these.
