Summary

This quote highlights the importance of democracy as a peaceful means of bringing about political and social change. Unlike other systems that may resort to violence or force to achieve change, democracy allows for the peaceful expression and translation of people's political preferences into action. By enabling citizens to participate in decision-making through elections, debates, and free expression, democracy provides a platform for resolving differences, addressing grievances, and instituting desired reforms without resorting to violence. It emphasizes the significance of inclusivity, plurality, and respect for diverse perspectives in shaping a society's development and ensuring a peaceful transition of power.

It seems we need someone to know us as we are--with all we have done--and forgive us. We need to tell. We need to be whole in someone's sight: Know this about me, and yet love me.
