“What was unseen will surface..
What was masked will fall.”

Author: Taariq Peerbocus

Taariq Peerbocus is a writer, observer, and analyst of the human condition. His work lives at the crossroads of psychology, philosophy, and emotion — where intellect and vulnerability coexist.

In TruthsUnmasked, his debut work, Taariq explores the complex architecture of human behavior: the masks we wear, the laughter that conceals pain, and the quiet truth that endures
beneath performance.

His writing does not instruct — it invites. Through reflection and irony, he unearths the sincerity within satire, reminding readers that awareness is the first act of courage.

The Hole

There comes a moment when the universe holds a mirror too honest to ignore. In it, we see not the world’s cruelty, but our own complicity — the ways we dig deeper instead of climbing out.

TheHole is a study in denial — how repetition becomes ritual, and self-deception becomes habit. It asks: at what point does our persistence in the wrong direction stop being ignorance and start being choice?

The answer is simple, though seldom easy — when we stop digging, the fall becomes a lesson, not a destiny. And every lesson, no matter how bruising, carries within it the seed of redefinition.

The Hidden Victory

In a culture that mistakes volume for value and speed for progress, quiet integrity becomes invisible — yet indispensable. The Hidden Victory examines the subtle psychology of ethical endurance — how those who refuse to compromise often fight the hardest battles, alone.

It explores what happens when moral strength is seen as weakness, and humility as hesitation.

The true victory, it reminds us, is not recognition — it is retention: the ability to stay human in systems that reward the opposite. 

The Compass of Thought

The Compass of Thought navigates the modern struggle for mental clarity in an age of constant noise. It studies the quiet erosion of independent reasoning — how opinion replaces understanding, and reaction masquerades as awareness.

To think is not to conclude; it is to question again, with more precision. And in that process, thought transforms into truth. 

The essay reminds us that the mind, left unexamined, becomes its own echo chamber.

On imbalance, blindness, and the ethics of excess.
In a world of overproduction, hunger remains not an accident but a contradiction.


Every city hides its paradoxes — abundance piled beside neglect, indulgence beside deprivation.
We speak of progress, yet discard enough daily to feed the same mouths we claim the system cannot reach.


The issue is not scarcity, but sensitivity. The waste is not only material — it is emotional, intellectual, moral. We waste empathy by withholding it from those we deem unworthy. We waste time in comparisons that yield no compassion.


The hungry are not always visible. Some hunger for meaning. Others for peace.
Some, quietly, for the permission to matter.
The psychology of waste is rooted in detachment — when consumption dulls awareness, when convenience replaces conscience. What we throw away says more about us than what we keep.


The Waste and the Hungry is not a sermon; it is a mirror. To look into it is to confront our
civilization’s quiet indifference — and to ask, with uncomfortable honesty, how much
longer we can afford to be so selectively blind.
