Democracy is a system created by humans. Days of the week are also named by us and it's the same with water boiling temperature, is us who choose the value of 100 degrees, and the freezing one 0 (Celsius). Some of us use Fahrenheit and I guess if we are going to ask God, just hypothetically, he will say he has different view over the days of the week.
What I' m trying to say....a system is created by one of us, and in some parts of the world some create the system for their own wellbeing and others are in some way forced to act in order to make the first ones prosperous.
Big revolutions, for example The French one, changed one system to another.
The new system will be good for some but not good for everyone. Which is the best system?
We act according to some rules we created or some others created, but we need to follow.
I'm hearing that Democracy is not perfect but is the best. How we are going to call a democracy with no real justice. I call it useless. The starting point of this essay is not that democracy are useless without a proper rule of law and judicial system, but that democracies make us selfish. The idea is that democracy puts people in a competition of capabilities, intelligence, health, work etc. and brings to the surface the selfishness of humans, and in terms of humanity, is not the best. In terms of economics democracy might be a choice due to the fact that competition brings more and more, but morally it's not best choice.
That's my view. Makes us selfish. It's not the best system for human nature. Selfishness is the result of democracy, and when it's too much is repulsive.
We see it on social media. People changing their pictures every two days, holiday pictures with the suggested message, ''look at me in this nice place'', ''look I'm doing well'' they just look unnatural.
The system-democracy-self, is it good?
