The Lord Of The Hidden Ring

<p>In ancient timeswhen the gods still watched closely over menand every deed was measured not only by lawbut also by divine justicea secret was buried in the land of Lydia.It was a small objectbut a bearer of boundless power:the ring of invisibility.No one knew who had forged it.Some said that it had been crafted by Hephaestusthe master of fireas a forbidden gift for mortals.Othersthat the gods had left it in the world as a temptationa trap for weak soulsto see what man would choose when no one could judge him.Entire generations had passed without the ring being found.It lay hidden in the tomb of an ancient giantburied with its secretsas if the earth wanted to keep it away from the hands of men.But the earthno matter how deepcannot hide it from the endlessly what fate wants to bring to light.Thus begins the story of Gygesa simple shepherdwithout ambitions for powerwho in a moment of curiosity and chance would discover the golden ring that would change his life and the fate of the kingdom.To himthe ring seemed nothing more than an ornament.Butonce turned on his fingerit turned out to be a door to a new worlda world where limits disappearwhere man becomes master over the laws and over the gaze of his fellow men.The question that troubled philosophers and kings alike was born then:what does a man do when no one sees him? What choice remains when the fear of punishment disappears? Is justice a true virtue or just a wall built by fear? This is not just the story of a ring and a king.It is the mirror in which each viewer must see his face and ask himself:if I had the ringwhat would I have done? Because the curse of Gyges' ring is not just in its shining goldbut in the response that every mortal must give when power becomes limitlessand conscience the only remaining judge.<br> </p>
