  Written by : LOTUS In a lush garden, where knowledge and growth are meant to flourish, a subtle yet suffocating force has taken hold.

The garden's inhabitants, once free to roam and explore, are now confined to a narrow path, their creativity and curiosity stifled by the weight of unspoken expectations. The consequences of this silence are far-reaching, l...
