responsibility to your fellow countrymen

4.37pm


well very recently my home country held their elections and as usual(not surprising) the current ruling party won. in any case, it was an all out war between the opposition and the ruling party. nothing new there either. but oh, the drama!

anyways, there was a lot of of campaigning or as the locals call it "ceramahs" (talks) given in hopes to gain votes from the general public, with lots of hoo-haa from both sides. whether fact or fiction,(i don't know coz im not into politics and please for goodness sake do not quote me on any of what's being mentioned here because its from my point of view) i don't really care but what makes my temper boil is the words that's spewing out of their mouths. all nonsense and sometimes the things they say, you don't know whether to laugh, cry, be embarrassed( that such things can even be uttered) or just go HUH??? WTF??

they don't play a fair game, not as "transparent" as we think they are. i guess everyone are for themselves. they have to look after their "rice bowl". when push comes to shove, do you think these people are thinking for others or for themselves only? go figure. its so easy to say that "they" are actually for the people/country but come on really, who are you trying to kid here? do you expect me to buy into that bullshit?

its really sad to see that after all the bullshitting and pulling the wool over the publics eye, "they" can turn around and say something nasty. i really do think that is downright rude and well, if you call yourself a "matured adult" with god given brains to think, i seriously think then, you have to go check yourself in to the mental institution and get your head sorted out.

do you realize that words spoken cannot be retracted or erased. its not like a laptop or computer where you can delete and erase what you are typing. its not that simple. yes, you can ask for forgiveness but deep down, do you really think you are forgiven entirely? no way!! the public don't forget so easily especially when nasty and mean things are being said about them when its not 100% true. i think there are some shit stirrers out there that's creating all this nonsense. getting the country riled up, probably over nothing. but sometimes its hard to say. whether whats being said is true or false and whether you chose to believe or not. entirely up to each individual to decide for themselves.

i am saddened to think that this is currently happening in a developing country. one hand, they want to move forward but on the other hand, they are moving 3 steps backwards. to me, when you say one country one nation, it means everyone is joined/united as one. don't you agree? but I don't think that that is the case here.

who died and made them god huh? what makes them so special? how do they even sleep at night when they can be so mean, greedy and spiteful towards others? I thought we all have some kind of guilt conscience inside us, telling us that we have done wrong and then try to make right? well I guess not all of us have that. sigh

you know, i voted during the last election and quite frankly, it wasted my time. my neighbourhood had gotten from bad to worst and when i say that i meant that the crime rate has gone up, the filth around the neighbourhood is really disgusting and the morons that double park along the shop lots and housing area have been causing major traffic jams. once upon a time it was such a peaceful place to live in. now , we even have pay for our security. meaning to say, each household has to fork out say $100 just to hire a security guard to stand by in our housing area 24/7  to look out for crime, suspicious person/s or whatever. yes, it has come to that. we don't even feel safe in our own home!! houses have been just ransacked in broad daylight. can you beat that? so i ask you, what is my government doing about it? mind you, its not only  happening in my area but also in and around the city and other neighborhoods as well.

don't talk about that, talk about kidnapping , car jacking and rape cases in parking lots in big shopping malls! oh my god!! and pray tell, what is the police doing about it? isn't this not serious enough? im not saying that by a miracle they have to clear up all this crap up that's going on but  at least put it under control. to me, i reckon that everything is just being swept under the rug and giving a million and one excuses! once again, trying their luck to pull the wool over our eyes and hoping that the public will eventually forget about all of this and move on.

aah...sorry for all the venting. i just had to let it out. and this is my outlet. as i said before these are  my thoughts and opinion. do not quote me on any of this. in future i do hope you choose wisely for the people you want running your country. don't be afraid to question them. and make sure that what they have promised, will be delivered instead of getting lots of empty promises.

before I end I would like to say this. when you want to do something good, do it willingly and not expect to get anything in return. no one forced or coerced you in the first place. and when you do that something, do it with an open mind and heart,  and you will be rewarded. but in this case, its expected that "they" expect something in return. oh well. c'est la vie



ok until my next blog,
