Democracy...

As much as Mexico's democracy has advance since the mid-1990's, there is long road ahead.

Society at large is more aware, and is a lot more participative in a wider range of aspects of our democratic life, but sometimes it show that most people don't really inform them selves about whatever they might be interested in more than the basics. On many cases, they just know whatever a single source told them.

This attitude is troublesome to me, because this makes the people more vulnerable to be swayed as the one handling the informations wants them to. If we want to avoid this, is important to use as many sources as you can. And to try to look beyond of what you are being told.

Objectiveness will always be relative, since we all filter informations trough the lens of our values and what we believe in.

This is why, if we want our democracy to grow and mature, we need to try to compare and contrast our ideas and beliefs with the one's of other's. No ones has the absolute truth, so what might apply to one may not apply to another.

All I hope for, is that we don't lose our way.
