Religion, Absolutism and Democracies

I have confirmed 3 things in the last couple of days as a result of funeral procession and transferring of power.

1) Religion and all other matters must be separated it
2) Democracy is flawed in having popularity as it's sole arbiter
3) All preponderant regime will have the propensity to consolidate regardless of human rights violation

On 1) During the wake of grandmother, the priest posed quite a several questions at me by way of their gesticulations. I answered every single one of day by way of my gesticulations. And just before the sanctifying of the procession, he stepped in, separating me from the rest of uncles and father. He was effectively telling everyone there, he is NOT legitimizing the whole process.

I had to step out because I did not want to curse the whole process.

Hence I have decided, he has NO right in deciding the outcome of the succession. He is there sanctifying and symbolize the entire process and NOT decide it. Reason is very simple: He is paid by us and was influenced by anyone who paid him directly and is subjected human influence and fallacies too

2) Democracy is flawed in having popularity as it's sole arbiter. Some of my relatives have been secretly pandering influence behind my back to get somebody else up there. This result in character assassination, coercion and all forms of other "soft" underhand tactics to dispose the rightful person.

Democracy is to put the best person forward, not the most popular person forward. It is therefore the tyranny of the majority. The majority were not sheep but rather packs of wolfs. Hence the bartering and the shifting alliances behind the scenes does not produce best person forward but the most merciless one instead. Hence we produce a dictator instead.

I would not endorse the person put forward simply because he was not the right person for the job. And these were my private thoughts from the start.

3) I had wanted to do the right thing: by respecting both the process and everyone's view hence I decided to step out.

But recent events suggest that a person on the cusp of power does not relent and would consolidate instead. One therefore is such situation does not respect human rights of others as his self-interest rules ahead of others. And if such situation were to arise where self-interest or welfare of other's were at stake- it would hence suggest, he would choose the former. The likelihood then in the future, he would do the same to everyone else.

Preponderance element in one's ambitious nature suggest therefore that he would have all peripheries would be eliminated. Therefore all form's advanced education in guarding the interest of other's would be wasted. And how far then, is your core and periphery. The shifting elements in human behaviour therefore suggest culling and negotiation- of which human rights, ideals and growth could no longer be together. We then would have to choose. We must not choose but rather to keep everything together.

Hence, it is obvious on three counts: 1) it was right to separate religion from the state 2) Tyranny of majority do exist - and majority is not sheep, but wolves would be a better analogy- in democracies 3) Concentration of power results in human right abuses of which would have no end and result in relentless and merciless pursuit towards homogeneity.

Therefore I would suggest then several things of which.

1) An independent body of which guard the interest of everyone- in the event of abuses.
2) Religion must never be used to sanctify any process
3) Media although partial to national interest must be open to alternative views and must not have an obvious slant. And if likewise, alternative media must not curbed.

I do not have leadership qualities but rather a student of life. I would then leave it to everyone to decide their next course of action.
