Political Disputes Are Not Explained by Miscalculation or Ignorance.

It makes me vexed that African National Congress democratically elected leaders wary away from debating with the members of the opposition party in public. Firstly, the former ANC YL President Julius Sello Malema refused to have a public debate DA member of the parliament Lindiwe Mazibukob because he assume that she is “a tea girl”, now the state President Jacob Zuma is repudiating a public debate with DA leader Madam Hellen Zille. Are these so called ANC leaders turning down DA leaders’ requests for economic debate because they lack retorts to whatsoever is happening in the state?

Having said that, I surmise the entire system is a sham. There are parts of the system that were intended to be great and are now full of corruption. There are endless lists of ways that both sides have misrepresented their constituents. To fail to acknowledge that is wilful ignorance. We all deserve representation, and I find it difficult to sympathize with millionaires who couldn't really care less about the true causes of the issues we face right now, as a globe.

While the obedient parade around wearing their special pin marked "ANC", "DA", "IFP", "COPE", etc.. The banks still dictate what is about to happen, and it will result, regardless of our voting efforts. The question is, "Who do we think will manage impending doom the most "president-ly?'" Well... The person I would like to see up there apparently doesn't exist, or the things that I agree with are split up between bunches of different people, or seemingly NO ONE conducts themselves with basic common sense with regard to political matters... Perhaps I'm over immersed, but there is no good way out. We need new governance, we need a different system.

Socrates, the father of ancient philosophy, once stated, "An unexamined life is not worth living" in The Trial and Death of Socrates. In order to make one life becomes worth to live, this famous statement strongly addresses that one must examine himself first and then others in the society to find the meaning of happiness of life. It is important for one to know who they are and what they are doing at all times. If not, one would not be able to live a good life and one would not be able to find their purpose of life. Without examination of their work, one could be either blind of obvious things that an individual is doing wrong or lie to one self and try to make excuses for things that they are doing wrong.   It is understood that everyone makes mistakes, but it takes examining the mistakes in order to fix that particular problem.
