If you don't desire me, I will leave you - your democracy
Democracy is in some sense like love:

its not a status quo, it needs to be lived every day, and defensed every day.

Its absolutely necessary that human stick together, don't take peace or love for granted, and work on it every single day.

These are thrilling days. We lost constitutional rights, do unbelievable things to humans of other countries and show no respect to other peoples lives or needs.

As long as my coffee is hot, what should I care?

This will lead us to more and more egoism, and because other people don't care about ME, this will have in the end a bad effect to ME too.

Its like the difference between a good marriage and a bad one: In good marriages the partner support each other, help to develop the things of the other, and work on it together. One is happy about the success of the other, not looking only: what can he/she do for me?

In bad ones, every wife or husband is only looking for himself, and will get less than otherwise.

We need to unite, to be able at all to fight this challenge of injustice, fascism, illegal war and betraying of our religion, feelings, culture and hopes.
