BALLOT — SYMBOL

Demokalase monga momwe imachitidwira si ya anthu onse; ndiye, sikuti demokalase yeniyeni. Zimachitika ngati masewera kapena nkhondo ya andale pakati pa "Ins" ndi "Outs." Ndipo anthu ndiwogwiriridwa chifukwa cha omenyerawo ndipo ndi omvera omwe amalipira masewerawa ndikung'ung'udza ndikusangalala komanso kusewera. Osewera amamenyera maudindo kuti azithana ndi aliyense payekha komanso chipani; ndipo adazunza anthu onse. Izi sizitchedwa demokalase. Boma ndiboma lochita kupanga; Ndikungopeka, ndikunyoza Democracy. Maboma amtundu wa anthu akuchokera paubwana wopulupudza. "Ndale" zamakhalidwe zimayenderana ndi kubadwa kwa demokalase, monga kubadwa pambuyo pa kubadwa kumachitika mwana.

Kupambana kapena kulephera kwa demokalase sikudalira ndale zachinyengo. Ndale ndizomwe anthu amawapanga kapena kuwalola kukhala. Kupambana kapena kulephera kwa demokalase, monga chitukuko, kumadalira kwenikweni anthu. Ngati anthu samvetsetsa izi ndikumvera mumtima, demokalase sidzakhala yolakwika. Pansi pa maboma ena anthu pang'onopang'ono amalephera kuganiza, kumva, kulankhula, ndi kuchita zomwe angafune kapena amakhulupirira kuti ndizolondola.

Palibe mphamvu yomwe ingapangitse munthu kukhala chomwe mwamunayo sangadzakhale. Palibe mphamvu yomwe ingapangitse demokalase kwa anthu. Anthu akakhala ndi demokalase, boma liyenera kuchitidwa ndi demokalase ndi anthu eni.

Demokalase ndi boma la anthu, momwe amalamulira ndi kugwiridwa ndi anthu, kudzera mwa iwo omwe anthu amasankha pakati pawo kukhala oimira awo. Ndipo anthu omwe asankhidwa kuti azilamulira amakhala okhawo omwe amapatsidwa mphamvu kuti azilankhula m'malo mwa anthu ndi kuti azilamulira mwa kufuna ndi mphamvu ya anthu, povota anthu awo mwavota.

Zovota sizongokhala pepala lolembedwapo momwe wavota amapangira zolemba zake, ndikuzigwetsa m'bokosi. Chovota ndi chizindikiro chamtengo wapatali: chizindikiro cha zomwe zimayenera kukhala chitukuko chachikulu cha munthu; chizindikiro choyenera kubadwa pamwamba pa kubadwa kapena katundu kapena udindo kapena phwando kapena kalasi. Ndi chisonyezo cha kuyesa komaliza mu chitukuko cha mphamvu za ovota; ndi kulimba mtima kwake, ulemu wake, ndi kuwona mtima kwake; ndi udindo wake, ufulu wake, ndi ufulu wake. Ndi chizindikiro choperekedwa ndi anthu monga chidaliro chopatulika chomwe chimafotokozedwa mwa aliyense wa anthu, chizindikiro chomwe aliyense wa anthu amamulonjeza kuti adzagwiritsa ntchito ufulu ndi mphamvu zopatsidwa mwa iye mwa voti, mphamvu ndi mphamvu yosungira , pansi pa malamulo ndi chilungamo, ufulu wolingana ndi ufulu aliyense payekhapayekha ngati anthu amodzi.

Zingamupindulitse chiyani munthu kugulitsa kapena kusinthanitsa voti yake kenako kutaya mphamvu ndi kufunikira kwa voti yake, kulephera kulimba mtima, kusiya ulemu, kudzinyenga, kulanda udindo wake, kutaya ufulu wake, ndipo, pakuchita izi, kupereka chidaliro chopatulikacho mwa iye ngati m'modzi mwa anthu kuti asunge umphumphu wa anthu onse pakuvota molingana ndi chiweruzo chake, wopanda mantha komanso wopanda ziphuphu kapena mtengo?

Chovota ndi chida choyera kwambiri ku kukhulupirika kwa boma ndi anthu kuti akapatsidwe m'manja mwa omwe akutsutsana ndi demokalase, kapena osakwanira. Zosayenerera ali ngati ana, kusamalidwa ndi kutetezedwa, koma osaloledwa kukhala zifukwa zosankhira boma kufikira nthawi yomwe akhoza kukhala oyenerera komanso kukhala ndi ufulu wovota.

Ufulu wovota sukusankhidwa ndi kubadwa kapena chuma kapena kukondera. Ufulu wovota umatsimikiziridwa ndi kuwona mtima ndi zowona m'mawu ndi zochita, monga zikuwonekera m'moyo watsiku ndi tsiku; mwa kumvetsetsa ndi udindo, monga zikuwonetsedwa ndi chizolowezi cha munthu ndi chidwi pa ntchito yaboma, komanso kusunga zigwirizano zake.
