The Journey begins NOW.
It is high time for introspection. Because there are serious questions about the way our value systems have drastically changed. There are serious issues regarding the way we shape our lives amidst repeated acts of political ridicule without evaluating ways towards corrective action. "Politicians' Bashing" that has become a convenient way to vent out our frustrations may become a routine, making us potentially more vulnerable.
Good governance and the promotion of the common good are not the exclusive responsibility of our governments. Other actors such as individuals, families, have a part to play. Regrettably, individuals and groups often underestimate their ability to contribute to the good governance of their nations. This may explain why many people are resigned to their oppression and suffering, and passively look forward to an external liberator and never ever bother to cast their votes, forget entry in politics.
The solution lies not in shaming politicians or ambitious quick fix solutions like launching political parties with a difference at the drop of a hat. It is high time we stop make a farce of our democracy. We shouldn't wait for some magical power to end all our miseries. We are the ones who have the power to bring about a change. Enough of being a passive observer, a vocal complainant and a no-doer.
It's time to VOTE. Because if you RESPECT YOUR VOTE, the votes would RESPECT YOUR ASPIRATIONS.
