Democracy is not a tool

We are being thought that democracy is the ultimate tool used for governing. But let’s look at it again, should it be a tool or perhaps an effect of the governmental activities. It is quite obvious that over the centuries with the different styles of democracy, there was always place for corruption making democracy more of the label rather than reality. Closest to the democratic principles were people of Greece, dated more than two millennia ago. With no media, people just met in the central square and discussed politics among themselves, where in the place of the talking heads today, they had outspoken demagogs – corruptive manipulation was at its minimum. Today corruption is so interwoven into the society that is not even considered as negative, almost every aspect of our lives is controlled by some kind of knowing better body, in an effect people become passive mass molded to any shape by all present media – the process is called democracy. Now what democracy really is, is ability of every individual to convey to the rest of the society of his or hers untainted by the society itself point of view, now is it possible? Probably not. So what is the solution? In the environment that humanity is at the present, there is no perfect solution, only maybe optimal solution, where society will asymptotically go closer and closer (if it does not destroy itself first) to the utopia but will never reach it. Democracy is a utopia… In almost any ethical political system (system that is not governed by set of rules but human ethics), the side-effect will be democracy. It is not possible to define democracy by creating rules, just like it is not possible to create utopia, but both democracy and utopia are possible if we just would be honest with ourselves and follow rules that come from following our heart rather than so called wise-man. I do not think it is hard to imagine by anyone that societal honesty leads to democracy, one just have to step out, out of themselves and open one’s mind. So the question is: Are we capable of being honest with ourselves?
