Democracy or Dictatorship? Most of you will choose democracy assuming that it is safe and takes care of our rights. You are absolutely right. We get to choose our own leader and can consider ourself safe compared to a dictator's rule.
Is Democracy a different kind of Dictatorship, maybe mild one. Lets see what comes along with democracy. We get to choose our leader, but do we have got any control after that. I have seen so many money and power scams happening, which means power surely corrupts. There are many leaders who have done great for the society, but there are many who have taken advantage of their position for their personal benefits.
In Dictatorship a certain faction of public might be unhappy but when we see in democracy most of the people group seems unhappy or keeps willing something else from what it has, neither people remain happy nor the leaders. Ofcourse the public and leader have their freedom to live their own life but under the rules which are framed by a set of people sitting on top. This freedom is limited freedom.
Corruption is also one of the evils which enters democracy and starts eating the base which makes a common man suffer, so is Democracy beneficial or maybe there should be something else...
I was reading today's morning paper and the quote of the day caught my attention which I am putting it down here:
"The marvel of all history is the patience with which men and women submit to burden unncessarily laid upon them by their Government" - (Quote by William H. Borah)
