a price for democracy

There's a bunch of students who planned to go on field trip. They want to have an nice memory among them, just before they graduated. But, the school asked them to manage their own trip with a few amount of money, especially for their food. Teachers trying to be a democrat person.

So, a few students have an idea to have a barbeque party. They start to talk about the plan, there are so many people with so many ideas, speak and give opinion. Some students have a bit strange habit. They speak with determined-high tone, as if as they angry and they are right. Some students can't afford to hear that high tone. So, instead of give their own opinion and participate in the meeting, they give up and walk away, some said they will follow the result (but, of course with grumbling voice after the meeting finished), some canceled they plan-and don't want to go, some still trying to make things clear and still try to talk and discuss the matter with the rest of student (who haven't give up).
this what happened:
first student, "hey, what do you think about this?... 'cause some of our friend have opinion like this.."
second student, "hh.. it's too complicated. I can't make everyone happy. hh.. I just go with the rest. I don't want to be confused to think about other people. I don't like to be confused.."
third student, "why don't you just split the money, and everybody will happy"
others, "why don't teachers decide what we will do, and i think students will followed the teachers."
But, then again.. it wont be a democracy. So, not every one can afford with democracy.. they can't make a dialog, they can't stand to hear others opinion, and sometimes they are not used to say with brave heart, "ok, then.. I was wrong, I am sorry..". those words are to difficult for them.
well it's a price for democracy that you have to pay. Be brave to give and take and except the differences..
...
hahahaha... so funny..!

tidak semua orang bisa mengatasi masalah yang berat (dan menekan) kemudian bertahan sampai menemukan jalan keluar. beberapa orang tidak tahan, dan memilih untuk keluar, dan membiarkan orang lain memutuskan untuk mereka. atau, keluar dan tidak mau ambil bagian sama sekali. atau keluar, dan tidak mau membantu memutuskan, dan pada akhirnya kecewa dan menggerutu.
hal ini terjadi di semua bagian dunia..
hehe,

"I just want to help you all, friends..
Cause I care for you all, and it's better if we can go together.. just lets sit and talk with cool head, warm heart, and love to our friend. without suspicions.."

  1. whenever someone said that we can't afford to make every wishes come true, that's when democracy fails.

    there are conditions to be met. but within democracy, lies no limit inside the people. the limit will and should be outside the people.

    but democracy is an ongoing process...:D
