A TO Z OF RESOURCE MANAGEMENT
History tells us that a lot of times kings who were harsh with their subjects were thrown out sooner or later. Then a nicer person,(slave or even one of the court's men) would do the job of the king. For young people, seeing a bad guy lose in the end and seeing the triumph of good guys is very important. However as we grow older, we stop admiring kingship and start liking Democracy. We start understanding that it is not nice that just one single guy gets to rule, just because he is born in a Royal Family. This is where our Political Science class would overlap and have debates with History Class students. It used to be fun. Learning about different types of Governments throughout the world and through different time periods. Different philosophers would have different opinions and different analogies for different kinds of governments. At the end of the third year of college we all came to an understanding that a government is a tool for people to have an orderly world. Therefore a government is a resource for every person living under it and should be carefully safeguarded.
Everyone should do his/her best to safe guard his/her government, (his/her tool) to make his/her lives safe. We should make sure that it guarantees that everyone is having a fair chance and every voice is heard. As long as everyone feels safe and everyone feels that the money they are contributing in the form of taxes is being used for the good of the people it does not matter by what name we call that government.

Nicely written, Munir. I've heard it said that when people don't have to earn their right to vote--to take part in electing, in exercising their right that others died or suffered to give them, that it loses meaning. People become indifferent. I think it's a tragedy. Your post is wonderful :-) I hope more people read it. :-)
Very well said. We have a valuable gift, and we need to safeguard it.
I agree with Shelly-well said - it is a valuable gift - and we do need to safe guard it. sandie
I think that people are cynical about the government, especially the people in the US... however; they have some of the most freedom and opportunity yet I find sometimes they don't partake as much when it comes to voting... that is sad with all the people who have gone before them to get this right and privilege.
I remember talking about the different types of government in school and none of them are perfect.
We must never become complacent and always strive for fairness because it's never freely given. Good reminder, thanks Munir.
