Shortsighted Justice is a tragic story where friendship is fictionally suspect, fraudulent, and broken by betrayal, honor is wronged by persuasion, theories are influenced by politics, riches are rendered wrongly and love is lured by lust. Well-kept secrets by loyal friends become burdens to some and smiles to others-one man flourishes, another man withers. A new rising community becomes wedged by negative notions and anarchy where times barely brighten by counsel then darken by suspicion. Loved ones are haunted by both love and deception, yet history even if unmovable, survived only by unneeded theological virtue. In the end, decades later, most wrongs are exonerated, times are changed, proper messages are delivered to rightful individuals, yet remind us once more about what outside, convoluted greed brought to our humble homes...remember our mountain? Conservation of fading cultural values have forever been my only inborn preoccupations (even if only in exaggerated fiction) since times have indeed changed. Many moons back, San Luis and surrounding Villas appeared in the Colorado dramaturgy as first to be settled and honorably accepted as the only place to humbly come to, through moral order. A time after, American sophistication and new guidelines to a better life became distorted, by white modernism to the point of traditional, faithful, and moral stability gradually becoming a thing of the past. Today it fades further with current threats of drugs, corruption, and voguish times. Well, for the benefits of few who still treasure elders' convictions and nuestros Abuelitos and those who may still spring out of caring conception, faithful curiosity and inspired by days of old, I'm determined to preserve our forgotten ways of life in fictional form at least.
