Every evening, the kids in my neighborhood comprising various races, played together in harmony. These kids are the best witness to what Merdeka is all about. These kids don't understand what racialism is all about. They have no discernment of color, language or religion among themselves. They are each best friends. They may fight, argue and quarrel and the occasional declaration of "I DON'T FRIEND YOU" statement, but they make up before you even realized they had fought.
Could the secret be simply because politics does not exist in their lifestyle.
They don't have politicians sowing negative and sensitive sentiment into their lives. Politicians are the culprits of all forms of conflicts. Children are innocent, pure and truthful. Their minds are not tainted with any influence of evil. Their friendship are not pretentious, deceitful or dishonest. They don't go to bed planning how to destroy their friends the next day. Children go to bed with pleasant thoughts hoping to meet their friends the following day, enjoying each other's company.
Politics exist because many people do not have a mind of their own to manage their own life. They needed someone who is known as a politician to elucidate to them what is right and wrong, who are our friends and who are our enemies, what we should do and what not! These people surrendered their minds as playgrounds to politicians. The greatest irony is every few years we elect these politicians or more correctly term as mongoloids, the retards of politics to act for us and then we stressed ourselves out complaining about them and the cycle repeats itself.
On a similar note, children too will become cautious of the friends they socialize if parents cautioned them about who their friends are. Parents play the role of a mentally corrupted politician in the household when their way of judging their children's friends becomes extreme and unjustified. In the adult world, politicians were elected to represent the voice of the underprivileged people, fighting for their rights and needs and not abused the responsibility entrusted to them.
Parents and the government are bestowed with a responsibility to care for the welfare of their children and people. The children and the people look to them as angels to guard and protect them, not as devils to maltreat them.
Simply put, the world is definitely more peaceful and a better place to live in if politics doesn't exist. But the irony is we created these politicians because we are so apprehensive in confronting the many issues of our daily lives. We elect someone to represent us and we condemned them for abusing and disrupting our rights of life!
Merdeka to me means freedom from politics; being set free from the bondage of deception that another person could manage a life that we are ignorant of! Maybe we should start emulating the lifestyle of the innocent child again to fully experience what Merdeka is all about.
