They have lived among us since the begging of history, but for all intends and purposes they have remained ignored for some time now.

They look just like us, like you and I. They have have flesh and bones, and pains and joys. Some might even acknowledge them the title of humans. And at the gaze of one, there could be no physical evidence to prove they are any different from us, but we sometimes know they are different, even if they always know they are different.

They have been minggled in history, and society, and economy, and any other mankind invention of cultural character. They interact as infiltrators, making themselves look like us and spread around the globe. And they should get some credit for that, to mimetize, because it takes some skill for an entire secret society to hide from the rest of the world.

You might wonder now, what makes them so special. Why do they have to live in secret if they are so simmilar to us? Well, sometimes they wonder the same... Because despite of the ignorant propaganda spread from ages, they can do everything we can. They wash dishes, they rise nations, they paint timeless art, they go to the restroom, they believe in God. Their biology is no different either, because according to some theories, they are still the same species as us (homo sapiens sapiens that is if you can read this...).

The only difference I would say, lies on our perception of them, because while we never see them, as individuals in a group, we tend to generalize and spread messages of persecution; even if we have never met one of them. And a lot of people get justifications of all kinds to do this, base their aggressive behaviour in falacies dressed as morality.

And that is the cause of their anonimity, the fact that they are persecuted for crimes they have yet not commited. Just imagine if God did that... In what kind of world does a secret society with members so important to human history have to hide and remain silent for the most part? Does it not sound stupid?

Perhaps you may think this is overreacting, that some people have had it worse, like the handicapped who have to deal with mockery and social tensions every day, or like African minorities in America without rights, or the genocide of jews by a rascist ideology . But please, do not ever forget that this secret society suffers too daily of social pressure and mockery, that they have fought too for equlity of rights, suffered too in a nazi holocaust, or do you though it was only jews and gypsys?

They have suffered just like any others, if not more.

So why are they the ones who still have to hide? Why is this secret society not seen as equals?

Well, I guess they will get tired of it

And then it will only be a matter of time that approving them is no longer our choice.
