Democracy is our nation's pride. In fact, the idea of politics has always been like a powerful electromagnet, which has the capability to draw in even the most layman to the argument table. Take me for instance, the boy of springs, who boasts of keeping out of political issues, i'm now blogging and rather bragging of democracy. A heated morning discussion on recent votes seem to wake our country men better than the early cup of tea. The sense of duty, the pride to vote and decide our nation's leader or perhaps simply going to vote and pressing a button simply because we have the right to do so has always puffed our chests large.
We practice our immense power and grave duty of throwing light to our nation's future and choosing the next political hero, listen to his self portrayal of his immense super powers and almost even believe now the tables are turned...
...When our plants were dying, we did not make and effort ourselves. We rather prayed to god he'll water the plants for us. He answered our call. When we saw the sky darken on the far horizon, we cheered, we laughed, we danced. We knew it would rain. But it was a storm. It didn't rain, it was a storm. It blew our roofs away. So we waited for it to go away, and then we prayed again...
...We inevitably understand our mistake of making a choice and wait for the next vote. And I have never seen an exception to this inevitability. Was the correct choice there in the list of options on the vote box? We shrug our shoulders. We haven't given it a thought. Our country has the largest written constitution and we are the best in it. Why waste our time thinking when we can boast pushing our impulsive opinion.
Let's take and exceptional eventuality, one of us have toiled our brain enough to juice out the understanding that we didn't even have an option to vote the "right guy". And we diplomatically decide not to vote the wrong minister and save our nation from an apocalypse. Its a pity not to have the right choice he believes. I pity him twice.
Why did we not have a decent option to choose the ruler? Because we don't sign up as politicians as easy as we do on 9gag.com. Because we like throwing garbage on the political issues in the guise of "constructive criticism". Because, as obvious as it is, under the mask of doing a greater good to the entire nation, the politicians are keeping self-help first. And though i don't agree to what I am going to say next certainly in the fear of being jailed, when we do use politics as a dirty word, it has a little bit of truth in it. And the garbage isn't easy to cleanup. Try to clean and you get those infections that kill you.
Lets suppose, by another miracle, there is a real savior sent by God to rescue mankind. He'll lose the vote by shameful numbers. In a country where "every person above the age of 7 years who can read and write in any language is said to be literate", and where access to higher education in only available to only 11%, popular choice is not the best choice for sure. The Economist reports that half of 10-year-old rural children could not read at a basic level, over 60% were unable to do division, and half dropped out by the age 14. You cannot put a blindfold on a group of fifty people, make three men stand in a row and expect to select the best painter by popular choice. Lack of education is that blindfold. And the three men, i wonder if any one of them have ever known what a paintbrush is, that's the democracy we boast of.
We often whisper about the illiteracy of certain politicians. We are cowards to whisper, but that's the easiest way to survive in a nation where having a sense of humor is a non bailable offence. The easiest choice is not always the best choice, just like popular choice is not. Lets rather wake up and let the best man earn his position to lead the country and earn our country fame in the world. The greater the education and experience, the more one's perspective, so why not let the president be chosen on his merit of knowledge and ability? If we have ten thousand business management courses waving at us through our daily morning news paper, why don't we have an institution that trains the nations knights the right way to rule the country.
Let Noah learn how to sail before rescuing our mankind. And when leadership comes in constitutional merit and on basis of knowledge, there is no doubt the brightest minds will join in. And when it's night, the brighter the lamp, the further you see. That is how we choose a real hero, not directly, but certainly.
As impractical is the idea of choosing the masterpiece by popular choice, is the belief that the ruler can please every heart by asking their approval on every little chore he has to do. Let's frankly admit, we all have a piece of broken "antique" somewhere in our house which we could simply do away with and reward ourselves with more space but we refuse to do so because it has memories attached. We have to get rid of those memories, those attachments to being used to not being used to changes. Once we choose the pilot, we must allow us to fly us alone. if 200 passengers on board wants the pilot's approval before turning the steering, Jesus save the flight.
A country of 1.21 billion where only a meager fraction has higher education needs an enlightened ruler, who has the freedom to make reforms, to curve the changes he sees necessarily and to invest where he believes there is prospect. He has to have the freedom to speak in a voice that does not tremble, eyes that shine but not shed. It might not apparently pour honey syrup on the lusty mouths, it might not impress the second largest county population together with lies which will come true someday, it might even invoke the morning debatacians to believe I'm speaking of loosing independence, but yes, we need an emperor. Not hierarchy but merit on institutional competition is what we need. And if five years is not enough, he gets his twenty years to rule.And he can live his life like a king. Who would shoulder such a huge responsibility with such low payments as presently in vogue? And we canhappily stop complaining.
And the nation lives happily ever after...
I love violet. I vote for monarchy but I'm just dreaming, ain't I?
