                         SOUL MATE

           It is said that a presidential candidate must be very careful(very careful) in selecting a running mate,in case they are selected! That sounds clear simply because they will be working together for almost five years of being onto power before the next universal suffrage.
           What about selecting a ‘life’ running mate……(soul mate).......a husband or a wife? in twenty four-hour period your heart beats about 100,000 times.On day,one of those beats will be your last,thus someone to share your life with as a partner till the last of your beats.
Does that does concern you? If yes,how careful should you be? And how long does it take ( to find and get the right person to marry? ) Or should you rely on what is called “Love at fight sight’’ waiting for someone to conquer the depth of your soul and get it  moved moved immediately as you see him/her?
              Take a breath  and have faith in yourself; With faith upon yourself,that is to say self-esteem and self-worth,you will live the true life of yours by being real and exceptional ( We neither share the same history nor the same life experience). That will make it easy for nature……. and/or nurture to select for you the right person,someone to share your life with! It does not take a century to get him/her as long as you are walking on the right side of the road. Not only knowing your potential as a human but also your effective position in the society you are living in,will take you just one heartbeat away from getting the right, perfect choice of yours.
             Emotional and fillings come and fade away just like a shadow on the presence and absence of intense unidirectional light. Thus,if selecting a soul mate is based wholly upon them,love dies as soon as they die away.
Most of us we think of it (life) as just being born,learn to walk and talk,go to school,graduate,party a little,find a job,get married,have kids,attending sports events,watching your hair turning loose,grey or white,retire,having fun with grandchildren,die!
          M. Gandhi once said;
                            ‘You only live once, but if you live it well,once is enough’
            As long as you were born,you will live and obvious one day you will die,that is the truth! But what matters here is how well your life on earth will be. The better the partner (soul mate) you will be having,the better your life on Earth will be. The choice is yours,make the most of it to get the right person.


            BIOLOGICAL DEMOCRACY
    In June 1992,after nearly 30 years of single party rule and in marked contrast to many African countries, Tanzanian president Ally Hassan Mwinyi signed into law constitutional amendments that allowed new parties to participate in elections, thus Tanzania was officially recognized as a democratic country. 23 months later, that is in May 1994,Nelson Mandela became the first South African president after the first 'democratic' election in the nation's history which remarked the end of political oppression.
    Two above, are examples of countries' movements toward Democracy, but what  is it in fact? what is so special with democracy and why is it that much important for nations to leave behind their ruling systems and commit themselves into this 'new' ruling system(democracy)?.....it is a bit hard to get the right answers for all these,
but at least something can extracted by looking into its origin, how it managed to exist till today and its transmission from one society to another society.
    The origin of democracy can be traced back in days during the times of ancient Greece. Democracy of city-states of classical Greece was a bit different from today's democracy, it was a direct democracy due to small in size of the city-states. Ancient democracy did not presuppose equality of all individuals as it is today, majority of populace notably slaves and women had no political rights. For example; Athens, the greatest of city democracies, limited the franchise to native-born citizens.
    Following the rebellion against monarchy in England after the execution of King Charles 1,political and revolutionary actions/movements against autocratic governments resulted in establishment of democratic government. Such actions/movements were inspired and guided largely by political philosophers notably the French philosophers such as Jean Jacques Rousseau.
    The major feature of modern democracy include individual freedom which entitles citizens to liberty and responsibility and conducting their own affairs. here is where the lowest level of democracy can be found, called....."biological democracy"....!
    Biological democracy as the lowest level of democracy refers to the freedom to decide what is to be done on one's body, that is to say autonomy(....the possession or right to self-government...) It can't be separated entirely from the human's basic needs(food, shelter and clothes)Freedom to choose what to eat...and at what time! The freedom to select the kind of clothes to wear...and how to wear!
    The strength, beauty and complexity of any building depends entirely on its foundation, the strong and well designed the foundation is, the strong and good looking the house will be. Nature loves symmetry thus, the same can be applied to democracy. A dream towards its perfection must start from its lowest level, that is biological democracy, and from there a strong democratic society can be established.
    Democracy is difficult to exercise, it requires the highest qualities of self-discipline, restraint, willingness to make commitments and sacrifices for the general interest .Moreover, democracy is full of disorders, but as it was said by a certain U.S politician;
    "All ills of democracy can be cured by more democracy"
