Nothing’s
Wrong with Democracy
…it’s
the greed of man that spoiled it
By Apolinario Villalobos
Democracy as an ideology is ideal for
people with progressive mentality, those who need liberty in exercising what is
good, useful and fair for others. Democracy is free from suppression. Democracy
is freedom. But some people blame it for their deprivation. Truth is, it is the
excessive democracy that is wrong. Some people use it to exploit others. Some
people become lazy because of it.
Democracy, properly observed propagates
self-respect and opportunities. Abuse of democracy breeds other ideologies
toward which, the exploited are pushed. Even the Creation was hinged on
democracy. Man was given the free will to choose what is right or opt for his
damnation. This righteous tradition has been carried on down generations, but
the feebleness of man, made him use this freedom as an excuse to choose the
wrong path which is the easiest to tread on.
Leaders of some democratic nations abuse
democracy by exploiting the very people who are supposed to be protected by
them. These leaders thought that the badge of democracy they wear after having
been elected is their authority to abuse their constituents. Abuse of democracy
is the reason why justice, if not delayed, is denied. It is also the abuse of
this ultimate ideology that tips the balance of opportunity in favor of the
already rich and those holding the reins of authority.
The greed of man has spoiled the essence of
democracy.
