Democracy: Man's Measure and Downfall.

A measure of man is the quality of life in a civilisation that deals rightly,equally and transmits basic and advanced freedoms to the next generation and tribes,cliques and neighbours. 

Each individual has a voice. Clearly some are louder than others. Democracy cries freely, sacrificially and with least hinderance. Other systems fail the collective and the individual.

Of course the saying: ' Know thyself' is aimed at the individual and thus the society.

Unexamined lives are Not worth living.

Pluralistic societies can become one if the foundation is  stable, unaltered democracy.

But the very flower of democracy contains the seed of its own destruction.

Can you guess what that is?
