2024 Week 45 of 52 87% Elections

When a decision goes your way it can be a time of relief and even exuberance, hope for the future. When the decision doesn't, the opposite is the case. How could this have happened?

Reality is that different people have varying values, pressures and perspective. Cultural differences, and priorities, biases and motivations. Often these are hard to comprehend one person to next.

What is right for some is brutally wrong for others, yet it is important to accept the decision.?The only thing we can do is voice our perspectives clearly, debate the topics and vote, then remain vocal about the issues you care about, even when the decision goes wrong.

Generally the loudest voice wins, as indicated by the chart below. Sadly it is not the end of the arsehole era . And, there is fine line between right and wrong, it is not black and white. One person's devil is another's saint. One person's arse is another's saviour.

Irrespective life goes on, hope remains and progress is made.

Have a good Friday and weekend!
