The words of "Yes we can" still resonate in my ears. History has a very remarkable way of making people rise to the occasion. Who would have thought that an African American would be elected to the oval house. The speech made moved millions of people who listened to it. It was frank and straight to the point with no beating behind the bush. One thing that captured me is the hope espoused by the new president, and by God he will need every ounce of it in the time to come. This gets me thinking, if other nationals will also change their outlook on their leaders? Will the majority of a country be willing to let someone from a minority be its leader?
I'm all too familiar with the dynamics of a multi-cultural community, and I hold a minority perspective. Understanding the majority outlook does not warrant much effort. Its pretty simple from my point of view; that is majority gets a higher priority. Discrimination is prevalent in every nation and none can deny this fact. But why is it not possible to give people what they are due?? Demanding of rights by various groups of people around the world is now quite over-rated. What they fail to realise is that for one to demand their rights, they should also fulfill their duties. Rights and duties go hand in hand, and cannot be realised independently.
A journey of a thousand miles starts with just a step. As the number of steps keep on accumulating, the objective would be to complete ones journey. A new dawn has broken, and lets hope the impetus derived from it can be sustained while spreading its radiance to other parts of the world. In the end, the world should converge their ideals to a single cause, and that is the cause of equity. Equity is the need of the hour and let all those people who are in slumber be awoken to its call. Let it pierce their hearts, and bring about a new world renaissance.
Yes, people the world is changing, and the human race still has hope. Reach, sky is the limit.
