I was distracted. That's all that I can say about the seminar that I was sitting in when this idea struck me. The seminar was interesting, as was the speaker, but my mind was elsewhere while the man was speaking of the different ways that people/corporations should handed crisis's. The idea surfaced in my mind again, as it had before, that government was fast becoming something in this world that was not what it was supposed to be actually. This can be seen in Europe and America, not to mention in other countries such as in China and North Korea. I will admit that while I am not aware of the many going-on's that occur in a large number of countries these days, I also know that I don't have to be for what it is that I have begun to think of is a wonderful idea.
I am not singing the praises of ignorance, for I feel that ignorance is not something to, well, be ignorant of, and should be eradicated in many ways and the in different fields of human life.
Anyways, this idea that I have mentioned before stems from a prior group of thoughts that have been hibernating in my mind for a while, and most of them can be tied to small government. You see, I can see nothing wrong with having a small government. Based on my many reasons which I will (If I remember to in later posts) go into depth about- barring my forgetfulness -I hit upon the idea that a government should be in the business of being more like a business.
I only say this because businesses have mission statements that they stick to and do business by. A government has more or less an implied business statement, but for the most part, no one knows why they are TRULY there.
I speak in generalities for the moment because I believe that all humans are equal and the same in regards to rights and opportunities, and therefore, I believe that since we are all human and share the same rights and traits, that all governments would have to therefore stand to serve the people of their countries.
Just to recap all that I have said about my idea for governments:
1.) I believe that they should be more like a business
2.) They should have a mission statement and goals
3.) Because of the inevitable fact that we are all humans, it stands to reason that all governments would basically operate on the same, if not similar, principles unlike those of today.
4.) They should be more focused on pleasing and helping the people that they serve. YES, governments are supposed to serve the people that allow them to have a modicum of power over them. (North America is a good example of how they were meant to be a republic, but how they have shifted to a democracy/socialistic country now).
5.) People need to be free in every which way, to a practical degree. This is why I say that we need SMALL government as opposed to large government.
Allow me to state several things that I am NOT saying that I want:
1.) Because I say that we are all human, and by default, we all possess the same basic traits. Because we possess similar basic traits, it would stand to reason that if a government were to actually exist for the true betterment of its people, then if they all shared the same views, they would all be very similar I would think.
2.) I still do not mean that there should just be one global government. That would be too much power for anyone to handle I believe, and would never work. (I already think that we have an idea of a single world government today, as it would exist in the future, since so many of the different countries in this world must work together to do this or that. And look at that...we don't all get along, which will always be the case.)
3.) A utopia for society. The only reason that I say this is NOT because I am against everyone having a good life, but because I have realized that no matter how hard we try, we would never be able to create a society like that. Even if we did through extreme means, it would never last.
(This is all that I can think of right now. I will add more later on in other posts).
