There comes a time when you feel frozen inside and are unable to think or move. It is the time in our country’s history where everything has been put on an automatic regulator, giving an impression of movement. But this movement is rejected by substance and soul, driven by prior orchestrated coercion.
The recent messages of mass conveyance reflect the intellectual and moral bankruptcy that state institutions, especially the judiciary, appear to suffer from. Instead of complying with established principles of case law, these beliefs are driven by the need to punish individuals solely because they are in favor of a particular case.
The recent judgments that were awarded based on evidence provided by two prosecution quarters who apparently hid (one behind a sofa and the other under a table) in the room where a conspiracy was allegedly wasted, is simply funny and would not be sustainable in any independent court.
However, such credible and independent courts have become a pipedream that runs further away over time as the government ministers promote what they refer to as a hybrid system where the authority does not come from the statute book, but of the recipients of the recipients dictating how things should be done. In the process, justice always becomes the most important victim.
Such exemptions usually have a short life cycle, as personalized events cannot replace an institutional approach that is hampered over centuries with work in the pursuit of expertise dedicated to the benefit of states and people. Justice remains the primary foundation on which the building of a progressive and welfare -oriented society stands. While incessant efforts are invested in further improvement of the existing model, no one is thinking of manipulating with the substance and the soul of the base on which the structure rests.
Instead of using people’s collective wisdom and learning from past experiences when individual fancy becomes the dominant driver to shape the way forward, boomerangs in the form of an avalanche and take everything in its way. There is no distinction between the good and the bad or the useful and the useless.
Everything is reduced to becoming part of a Clueless Messe, which is unable to withstand the violence of the nearby barrier, is washed away. We have suffered this repeatedly, but still we have refused to learn from such experiences. Instead, we insist on repeating our tabs.
From a Sincere Foundational ATTEMPT TO ESTABLISH DEMOCRACY WHICE WAS REPEATEDLY INTERRUPTED BY TOPPLING THE INCOUMBENTS, TO MARTIAL LAW, TO A SYSTEM OF BASIC DEMOCRACY, TO MORE MARTIAL LAWS WITH INTERLUDES OF CONTROLED AND OUTLY RIGH Concoction – Our National Life Span is Gravely Punctured with Potholes of Experiments WHICE HAVE NOW BECOME GAPING CRATERS READY TO SUCK IN WHATEVER REMAINS OF THE SYSTEM WE Follow.
In reality, there is nothing that can be referred to as a system. Only a collective of interests dictates the direction the country has to take so that their reservoirs of wealth and power continue to multiply. After beating this far, we are now lost in a maze of impenetrable, where whatever is left of this fabrication, held hostage by the same group of the recipient elite who continue to insist that they have been right and that they should have it their way.
There is this sustained crush on practicing the same defective model with the hope that this time it will produce different results. Through repeated experiments, this has not happened in the past, as it does not actually have to. In this persecution, the state’s institutional capacity and capacity suffers to the point of becoming dysfunctional. The recent court decisions are a manifestation of this serious institutional collapse.
We have lived in a world of bias for a long time, to our complete harm. There is a time in a country’s life where people have to put their heads together, take the clothes off make-faith and meet the reality of its brutal whole. That’s the need for the present. To deviate penalties on flimsy grounds shares an already fraction.
History has also found that peace cannot be secured below the tip of the sword. It will be secured through the exercise of reason, logic and compassion. It will be assured when people have confidence that they should be treated rightly in full accordance with the law of the country. At this moment we are far from that end and drive further away.
We are tired. If we continue to walk along the current route, we are on our way to exhaustion and desperation. That’s when the distinction between right and wrong disappears completely and you start operating without paying attention to the consequences. We are not very far from that step.
The operation of current times may not have been difficult, but the picking journey will be challenging. In this persecution, we will be obtained against the recipient elite responsible for striping this country to a skeleton and leaving it by the road with a begging bowl in hand. This is a patient condition that should induce a collective answer from everyone who nourishes their homes where they were born and where they can still have a promising and profitable future. But it won’t fall into their lap. They have a fight at hand.
An approach that reeking of revenge will cause further division. We cannot be clubed exclusively as angels or demons. We are people who are falling in our behavior. We should use a flexible approach that is willing to investigate without reservation, which is why we have arrived at this time and how we can unpack from the quicksand we are in. Staying There is not an option as we continue to be sucked deeper over time.
A claim for justice is no exclusive domain. We can all be right and we can all have wrong. One’s greatness rests on accepting reality without any clothing of bias. We have carried the fighting form for a long time. We should put it away. A linear model is not always the best option. It has to come with its shades and colors so that it appeals to a larger collection of people.
Our raving pampering of the past has brought us to the brink of destruction. Truth and reconciliation can pave the way to a future that benefits everyone. It’s time to get together.
