Thought for the Day - Democracy

Contributed by Ho Cheow Seng

My notion of democracy is that under it the weakest shall have the same opportunities as the strongest...no country in the world today shows any but patronizing regard for the weak... Western democracy, as it functions today, is diluted fascism...true democracy cannot be worked by twenty men sitting at the center. It has to be worked from below, by the people of every village." : Gandhi

The notion of that the weakest shall have the same opportunities as the strongest is not democracy.


It is a nice dream.


WE are living the Nightmare. THIS is a REAL fact. Dont bother waking up. YOU CANT.

So what if opportunities are available for the "weakest" - do they grab it or let it go past without any actions?

Look at India now.

Dreams without action remains as dreams.
