It is gratifying to note that in the past two weeks, developments in the political arena have been focused on the need for moral renewal, on the need to search for and find leaders whose primary selling point would be their perceived capability to bring about a moral revival in our public life.
For a country seemingly hopelessly mired in immorality, from the top down, this is a Herculean task. Can our new moral leaders succeed in cleaning up the Augean stables? Or will they be swept along by the culture of immorality that pervades our political culture and be co-opted by the Forces of Darkness without making a dent on their armor?
We shall see what we shall see.
