We walk through a heavy mist, sometimes seeing the next step before us... sometimes not. Peril all around, each misstep could be our last.
How fortunate we are to hear the man on the screen, leading us safely through the maze-like chamber. Not everyone has such an advantage. Those in the back can't hear him at all, so we must all repeat the words in unison, echoing off the walls to lead everyone out of this mess together.
One voice calls out from the mist "Wait a minute, everyone stop! I can see clearly over here and we had it all wrong!"
How could anyone play such a prank at a time like this? Their words will lead to panic and chaos! Quick, throw them out of the echo chamber, we can't have them here.
As we rush toward the voice, carefully following the safe path, the mist clears up significantly and we can see the traitor. Your heart drops, knowing who it is. Betrayal hurts so much more coming from someone you should be able to trust, but they must not be allowed to endanger everyone.
They look you in the eyes with disbelief. "Look around you."
But you won't be fooled so easily. The man on the screen always knows best.
