Welcome democracy player,
We all are born into a system where merely choosing our leaders seems to be the pinnacle of our political participation. But what about the process that defines the rules of the game itself? Isn’t it time to question this norm and actively participate in creating our own democratic game alongside our fellow citizens?
Imagine a world where before choosing who governs us, we choose how we want to be governed. This is true power, sovereignty over our own lives.
In a healthy system, the people collectively define what democracy means. If asked to choose between letting someone decide for you for five years or simply choosing for yourself, you would certainly opt for real choice, the one that allows you to determine your own destiny, rather than just following the menu set by others for five long years.
Instead of passively enduring a game where rules are imposed without your consent, why not choose the game you truly want to participate in? If the rules seem unfair to you, if the game always favors the same winners, why continue to play?
It’s time to step out of a game that doesn’t suit you, to create your own where the rules are set by all, for all. True democracy, as practiced by the Athenians, empowers everyone to define the rules of the game.
Ultimately, true democracy emerges when we cultivate our thoughtful consciousness, when we commit to evolving our society towards a future where everyone matters, where everyone participates fully.
It’s time to take back control of our democratic game. Let’s awaken, citizens, and redefine the rules of the game together for a fairer and more equitable future for all.
