Our own maturity has to come to bear.
This fear factor going round may have been cultivated by the Ruling
Party, especially civil servants, too afraid to 'bite the hand that
feeds you', as some has graciously pointed out.
At some time, the 'threat' and 'fear' became self-induced. People,
on hearing rumours that someone lost his govt job because he voted
alternative parties spread like wildfire.
Such a situation worked in favor of the Ruling Party, especially
since nothing could be proved. They let a perfectly illegitimate
situation consume the population.
In the end, it extended to conspiracy theories that included
ludicrious issues such as the serial numbers on ballot papers and
govt moles sent into alternative parties to destabalize them.
If we want to emerge from our own apathy, this is one shadow we
have to throw off.
The more you fall into this trap, the more you play into their
hands.
WELL said. But sad to say, that is theory.
MATURITY ? The Ruling Party should start first. And the media
should do likewise. Look at the reports during at election times.
How can we deny the ugly turn of events right under our nose?
Rumours? Self induced? Threat? I am not sure. But I rather err on
the side of caution. In practice how many would want to be a hero,
or guinea pig offering themselves for "experiment"? When it comes
to the crunch and you are obviously victimied, who will stick his
neck out and help you, aside from lamenting, "poor chap how
sad"?
Deliberately or otherwise, the Govt have installed and instilled
this fear factor in us. The serial number issue? Ridiculous or Real
? Will we ever know the true answer. Unless the number is removed,
how do you tell people not to be frightened ???
How many would want to put their theory into practice ??
And how many are but paper heroes ?
