Quite simply, there can be no true democracy unless the citizens of a country realize that they are sovereign, that they are the main protagonists, and then with wisdom and a strong sense of responsibility take action based on that realization. Democracy cannot be successful in its mission unless the people rouse themselves to become more informed and involved, unless they unite, unless they establish an unshakable force for justice and keep a strict eye on the activities of the powerful.
Mmmmmmm this isn't going to be the most constructive day of my life I feel ! Had a really good Buddhist meeting last night then headed down the pub ... was definitely in the mood for a drink and managed that ... a really nice fruity hoppy beer made with hops from Kew Gardens .. then some lovely stout and a few really nice whiskies ..... That, as usual, was followed by bizzare snacking in front of TV when I got home .. I think this time it was a mini banquet starting with sushi, followed by lumps of cheese in sweet chilli sauce (!) followed by a salad sandwish with salad cream ... oh and a Magnum Ice Cream for desert ..... No wonder perhaps then, that I woke with the TV on loud at 4am and had to drag myself to bed .... finally waking around 9am.
Not been a lively start so far .. bit of reading in bed with a cuppa to come around ... but now I need to do my chanting and get on with some work ... planning possibly to watch a rubbish film in the afternoon .... winding down for easter :-)
