Democracy

Democracy is a double edged sword. It cuts both ways. So, democracy does not always work.

People will abuse the system, surely. Given the nature of human beings, they will tweak the system to suit them. Not all people are honest. Not all people will play their part and take only their share. Most people will take more than their share.

I once read that the country that will be successful and go far is the one who has a visionary leader who has the welfare of his people at heart, and citizens who believe in their leader, and are willing to follow the leader without question. That would be the real deal.

A visionary leader without followers will not accomplish anything. Followers without a good leader are like the blind being led by the blind. It will not work out well.

Unfortunately, it is difficult to find visionary leaders or followers who are willing to do as they are told. Presently, all leaders are treated with suspicion, and all followers think that they know better than the leaders. It’s democratic society, you see.

Where did it all go wrong? Aren’t leaders supposed to lead and followers supposed to follow?

I am not trying to open a can of worms. Just a philosophical moment, I guess. Anyway, let’s move on...

I live in a fascist state, or a corpratist state, where the government, beholden to three pharmaceutical corporations, will now dictate rules that all other companies (with 100 or more workers)must follow. It used to be a democratic republic, which people sometimes mistakenly called a democracy. True democracy, rule of the majority, can best be described as two wolves and a sheep deciding on what to eat for dinner.

Hi Jon,

Thank you for your input. It looks like I have a lot to learn about politics. But at my age, I think it is more important to live out the rest of live in peace, treasuring the little things and little moments. 😀
