Scandals involving politicians are everywhere!
News of politicians squandering the nation's money is not new, but in today's time where news can spread quickly and where people's minds are more aware of the events (thanks to internet) this has become a big deal. With billions of the citizen's hard-earned money being stolen by the very people who should be helping them, it's hard not to feel infuriated.
With these problems, some even suggested of a revolution.We cannot blame them if they want a revolution, after all these revelations of corruption, emotions are running high! Now it made me think why do they want revolution? Are they serious? Revolution.
Revolution according to the Webster's Dictionary it is "usually violent attempt by many people to end the rule of one government and start a new one." So these people want a violent action to replace the government. But by whom?
There are different factions wanting to rule over the state, to have that seat of power. If a revolution should happen, these factions will take that opportunity to carry out their interests. This may cause into further crisis, chaos will be the rule of the day. The country will be thrown in confusion and unity will weaken. This moment of weakness may be taken advantage of other foreign nations to intrude our sovereignty. Events like won't benefit in the long run, one thing is certain that it is its citizens who will take the full effect of the problem. The people is not ready for a revolution.
I believe that in order for a better and lasting result we should strive for a change in society itself. The way we live our everyday lives, on how we do culturally and on how we think, these are the things we should look into. We must make ourselves want to change! For how is it any better if the government has changed but the society remains the same.
However I do not reject the idea of a revolution, it has come to me that I should not throw away ideas as it may become a possibility and a reality. A revolution is to be made when the other side is turning deaf on reason. Preparedness is also to be taken account, a good support from people of ALL walks particularly from the higher class. They will at all cost protect their interest, if they are not on the revolutionary side they will be a big trouble as they will likely throw support against the movement. A sudden revolution can only mean failure.
For as long as the means for changing the society and the culture of the people are not exhausted, we should always take this road as it will be better than that of a revolution. The change of society is better than the change of the ruler. A good society will bear an optimal government. We must not tire of fighting for the improvement in society and culture of the people.
