That's less Indah

Either of which usulnya origin, either from the discourse, either from the community with characteristic ego Centered society, either the negative excess of excessive individualism, which is clearly our discourse - the world's political, business and the other - is colored by the dominant trend of only winning . Rarely - if not say no - there are parties willing to outright defeat.

Like soccer tournament, the only one champion. While that is not always a great number of more than one. If so do compete fist totality of human losers with their win, the champion only certain black-and-blue.

In this perspective, what is happening in world politics, especially in the last month of the year this actually reflects three important things. First, no party would lose. Seems less is forbidden goods and untouchable. Second, anyone who is a winner almost always be in a position tortured attacked from the left-right. Third, as a result of the first and second point earlier, the political arena we are more similar to the arena riot, compared to soccer tournament plus values sportivitasnya.

Let's start with the first point about the lack of people who want to lose. With a little clarity I would like to invite you bertutur, sports tournaments in general, in addition to be less risk to anyone who would like to participate in the game, are actually less noble. Told noble, in the shoulder because the parties kalahlah fortune and peace kemeriahan pertandingan determined. To win, you and I do not need the wisdom and greatness of the soul. Overall all fun, be bathed and hand the admiration, and the most important out of the field praise berselimutkan many people. However, for less, a far cry different story. Derision and invective that sometimes people come. We feel the effort futile. That was a lot of eyes are so hostile.

However, behind all the derision and slur earlier hidden lakes glory that is very knowledgeable. Fundamen basic building democracy in any society, built on the shoulders of millions of human-human losers. No one nation can make itself be democratic without fundamen last. In other words, the beauty of democracy - that would honestly - is determined more by the losers. The beauty of yesteryear turned into glory, as already mentioned plus all lose a lot of people cursing, but even more determined people.

You can imagine the fate of Japanese Prime Minister changed so often, the fate of United States president has changed dozens of times, and the fate of nations that have so often changed its leader. Without the greatness of soul less, any change will be marked by the slowdown due to the riot-riot need not be.

This aspect of the losers. In terms of winners, the win was a lot of luxury-luxury. Admiration, hand, the number of the cohort increased, until the powers that flashy. All this is indeed the fruit of long and exhausting struggle. For many winners, this is indeed worthy of the prize received. However, realize that building democratic institutions anywhere is always built on the shoulders of millions of people shoulder-less, as a winner in the top of the building realize what they stand.

In the actual physical building, is fundamennya brick, sand, cement and goods other dead. Building democracy stand shoulder to shoulder on the shoulders of people who lost life, dynamic, and the emotional calculus-political calculations. So, really amazing for me, when George W. Bush started a speech as the first U.S. president with such a beautiful sentence: 'I was not elected as President to serve one party, but to serve one nation'.

Apart from the beauty-the beauty of democracy, other countries, like we is not like dealing with the political arena that are far from beautiful. Someplace where the right, a friend of his that people who lose dirilah do not know which is the source of our condition. There is also a berargumen, and proud winner of the hosts that are all early. And for me, everything is mixed into the dough-the dough is chilling, and riot frightening.

As difficult to separate a mixture of chicken porridge that is so ignites, the second mixture to separate the dough unrest this is indeed very difficult - if not called away. Whatever the solution, we all have to educate the future generations that not only the victory of beauty, less beautiful can also be ended. Victory indeed produce a lot of excitement and pride. But defeat is a teacher patience, wisdom and discretion that is not tandingannya. Something that can not be given by any victory. And most importantly, those who lose out, and then out of the ring the match with a sincere smile and greet the winner, plus help in the day-to-day reality for the sake of progress together, they actually lead us. Although the positions without, forces, power, throne, praise and cheers other people, they the true leaders. Punyakah we are the true leaders like that?.
