Individuals, troubled by their future, fed up with their current situation and frankly discouraged, also full of disbelief and bewilderment, gobble up hopeful promises with masochistic delight, from political leaders impregnated with rancor. These in an <fabulous> discourse, redundant in references to love and progress , stuff them the idea that the duty of the state is to bring peace, justice, social security, and economic progress to all.
Noble Objectives.
Desired from all current societies. Who does not dream with rulers that offer
good decisions motivated by love for his people. Aimed at achieving a dignified
life, peace, and security. That entails the effective application of justice
and promotes, along with caring for the environment, the generation of wealth
for all.
Today, it is a sluggish and agonizing scrabble, not an easy search, finding a leader who is ethically correct, kind and virtuous in his governance. Once such a leader is chosen, society will surely accompany him and direct its efforts to achieve those noble objectives.
A State framed with these noble objectives, commits itself to the lofty duty of training all its individuals, in the apprehension and understanding of them. By this, transforming them into heroic defenders of ethics, decency, democracy, freedom and justice. Bases for the positive transformation of thought and reality in a society, laying the foundation to achieve a genuine and effective rule of law.
These fierce
apprentices, once trained and as courageous guardians of their State, firmly,
together, will promote all kind of
efforts to ensure their government to act with veracity, transparency, wisdom,
justice, kindness and virtuous condescension[1] . Ramón Campos, a Spaniard
more than 200 years ago, wrote: "The virtues of condescension are scarce
in weak societies."
In the midst of an
atmosphere of certainty and peace, created in a society framed by these noble
objectives, its citizens, successfully, will choose a true and worthy ruler and
not a simple dogmatic, sectarian leader.
Dogmatic or sectarian
leaders, hidden behind a sanctimonious political leadership, without primness,
end up imposing themselves by fanaticizing their followers, and openly
attacking their detractors. A virtuous and genuine Ruler, even though Is a leader,
governs truthfully and firmly for both, followers and detractors, assuring and
guaranteeing their rights without ceasing to demand their duties, and never
"over stepping” constitutionality.
Now, affects are
essential in decision-making. This is why it is crucial to be careful when
choosing our ruler. Our decision should not gravitate solely by valuing his
mental brilliance, his eloquence, or his seductive speech. We must make sure
that the affection that prevails in his heart is not rancor. Affection that distills
from lower consciences.
Hate destroys.
separates and causes discontinuity. It leads to the brutal segmentation of
society. It atomizes and leads the individual to hide behind particular and
petty dogmas, full of resentment, which initiate a violent degradation of
society.
Hate anchors with the
counterpart, only in what feeds the rage, everything else is discarded or
forgotten with contempt. The noble objectives, in an hate scenario, fade or disappear under the weight of
distrust, injustice, disrespect and the endless violence that follows.
Thus, favoring the
abuse and imposition of "moralistic" positions, that sometimes are
contrary to true morality, and that dressed in false rigor, in a latent way, constrict and destroy
freedom, truth and good values.
Love on the other
hand, constructs. Is related to good life, union, creation, friendship,
understanding, hope, peace and positivism. It is of the essence to demand from
our rulers leadership, virtuousness, diligence and justice, but also love, that
he loves his governed.
