What is the Right Solution
You often have heard people saying(to you or others),
No! this isn’t the right way
This isn’t the solution
You are doing it wrong.
But when you ask, what’s the right way?
You get no answer. Why?
Maybe because they really don’t have an answer to that, or if they do; they don’t want to share it.
Not sure what am I talking about? Well, let me explain using an example
Day to Day, we see news of protests all over the world, some are doing it because of injustice, some because of poverty, some due to discrimination and some for securing their religious virtues.
[ Note: I am not targeting any specific protest group, it’s purely a general discussion ]
All these protests, no matter what the reason, have consequences; Consequences that can be severe at times. Even if the protesters give their word about protesting peacefully, still, this isn’t workable because others (police force and others) will try to stop them from protesting, which will result in conflicts. And now, even if they were protesting peacefully; they would have to use force to protect themselves as well(which eventually means conflict).
I am not saying that police or other law enforcement organizations shouldn’t be stopping them; of course, they should; It’s their job. And neither am I asking protesters to cut off protests; because it’s not like yesterday they were just having a normal day, and today they are like;
FirstPerson: Hey man, It’s been a long since we had fun, let’s do something fun.
SecondPerson: Yeah, I agree. Hey? Let’s get others and go for a protest. It would be fun huh. What say?
No! It’s not like that. No one, literally, no one(except for some intentional rebellions) likes protests, riots and conflicts. And if they are doing it, then you better understand that there is a reason behind it, that something is definitely wrong. This could be due to injustice, discrimination, religion and many more. Luckily, protesters clearly show off their demands so you don’t have to waste your time figuring out what they want; In fact, In the meantime, you can think of a possible solution to these situations.
As in the case of protests, again, people say, this isn’t the solution. And I completely agree. But, then again, the problem persists; The question, that was asked in the beginning,
“What is the right solution?”. Remains there.
As I already said, usually you won’t get an answer to that. But if we speak specifically of the “protest issue”, the answer might be
Go to court, don’t take the law into your hands
Convey your message without disturbing or harming the whole society
Something like that...
Now, if you look at these solutions; they seem pretty logical and workable. Right? But, what we don’t acknowledge is that these are ideal solutions. And everyone knows about these solutions. In other words, it’s hard to believe that those who are going the hard way(protesting), haven’t thought of doing that; haven’t thought of visiting a court and requesting their rights, or using other means, say social media, to convey their message peacefully.
And, if they are still doing it, then it’s not hard to guess that
either
1. They are doing it just for the sake of conflicts
Or
2. They are not getting their rights met( Their demands fulfilled).
Both cases have different disclosures;
1. If it’s the first case( just for the sake of conflicts), then it better be stopped, because, it’s nothing more than mischievous tactics to harm the country or government’s dignity and reputation.
And
If it’s the second one( not getting their rights), then government and courts need to check on their system for justice. Because people are not getting it.
Note: I am not a supporter of protests, never was, never will be. The only thing that bothers me is that in most parts of the world; People don’t get their rights met legally, and when they try to get them their own way; they are declared rebellion.
So, that’s all for today, I hope you don’t get me wrong and understand what I had in mind while writing this.
Thank you so much for being here.
Yeah, I get what you mean: "what is right?" Honestly, if one don't really know about what's the right thing either. It's like: hey, okay, this isn't correct, so we'll protest and get something new. Then after a while, we experimented it again, and say, oh, we still haven't got it right, so let's do another protest and change this again.
"Right" or "at least good enough" isn't easily met without trials and errors. it might be worth to try things with a small groups and figure out what works and what don't before handling a suggestion to people whom could make it true throughout the world... that's one's point of view...
