At the same time, there are millions people all around the world who are silently suffering the brute aggression of power. It's a deep-rooted social malaise that manifests in different forms at different times in different places. <br />I just hope and pray that we will never in the future hear of such a tragedy.Pradeep Nairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04873369124947878452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7874342578431143001.post-79029196016921592020-06-07T16:16:34.605+05:302020-06-07T16:16:34.605+05:30Hari OM

One thing I often hear is, 'what can one person do?', as a kind of surrender. What it is important to understand is that society only exists because of the individuals within it. Every individual as their part to play and every act has a consequence...

It was also addressed by Morgan Freeman in one episode of the series The Story of Us; the social contract by which we select leaders and agree to be governed by them. That episode also discussed the rise in populism and why populist vote winners are not 'leaders' because they address the interests of only those who promoted them, not of society as a whole. The basis of a social contract is that even those who don't get their choice of leader (minority lets say) are part of society, and leaders in the true sense of the concept are there to ensure the cohesion and benefit to everyone in it of a whole (and wholesome) society. Thank you for finding and sharing another block in my wall of thinking and understanding on this. I'd like to study it further and am germinating the seed of an idea to go back to university when I 'retire' and have the time to pursue it in depth.
