We Need Politically Active Citizens

Charles Fuller once said, “To spend one’s life being angry, and in the process doing nothing to change it, is to me ridiculous. I could be mad all day long, but if I’m not doing a damn thing, what difference does it make?”

I agree with Fuller’s statement. I don’t get people that complain about something, but do nothing about it. I also don’t get people that see injustice but look the other way. Politics should not be left in the hands of politicians. On the contrary, politics is too important, too precious to be left to them. For democracies to be successful, nations need citizens that understand not only their rights but also their responsibilities.

This does not mean that citizens have to be politicians. On the contrary, they need to be citizens. The best citizens they can be. If someone is an architect, he or she should be the best architect possible.
