S:<\/strong> Hmmm\u2026 Guess it\u2019s not \u2018politically correct\u2019 for each side to sing the other\u2019s praises… at the possible expense of lowering their own worth in citizens’ eyes. However, excess self-praise also makes citizens more wary of the true worth of th…at praised too. Each side should just praise where praise is due. It\u2019s the duty of the opposition to look for flaws, for improvement\u2026 just as it is the duty of the non-opposition to open their minds to really hear their concerns, for the same goal of improvement.<\/p>\n

The right motivation in politics must be for improvement to benefit citizens instead of only self-profit or demonisation of anyone who opposes. Reality is realised from seeing both the bright and the dark sides. While we tend to see only one side, may we not forget there\u2019s another. \u8ba8\u8bba\u662f\u975e\u8005\uff0c\u4e0d\u4e3a\u5206\u8fa8\u662f\u975e\uff0c\u6b62\u6076\u884c\u5584\uff0c\u5373\u662f\u975e\u4eba\uff01<\/p>\n

From Heraclitus, a paradox about the nature of opposing – ‘Opposition brings concord. Out of discord comes the fairest harmony.’ As such, it’s not always bad to oppose, as it is often mistaken. It doesn’t have to be antagonistic. In fact, t…o oppose for the greater good is always good. Some public demonstrations turn antagonistic not because of their cause, but because their cause for greater good is ignored. If our criticism is not constructive, it is usually destructive, and rarely neutral. It takes skill to oppose with compassion and wisdom!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
