What does a government do for us? 🤔
June 14, 2019
According to “https://study.com/academy/lesson/what-is-government-definition-role-functions.html#transcriptHeader”,
“Government, …, is the authority that sets rules
for a society, helps its members relate to one another and to others, and keeps
it running smoothly, securely, and peacefully”.
I, alongwith 6 billion
others, will have 6 billion & 1 reasons on what a government’s role is in
society.
… But, why do we exist?
Why are we living? Why did
“societies” and “cultures” crop up?
It is for the promotion of general welfare of those
societies & cultures. That’s what
should be the purpose of any government and NOT a 20, 30, 40-page manifesto of the “ideal” society!!! How much of these manifestos actually
materialize in your country?
There is NO perfect society or government by a long
shot. However, I feel the county which
comes closest to this 1-point “ideal” is Singapore! The country has remained neutral; it looks
after it’s citizens and residents; and their education & health policies
are almost second to none!
If all governments, including here in Pakistan, were
to use this one-point agenda (general
welfare of its citizens) as it’s rallying call, I think all policies -
domestic or international - would correctly flow from this.
Like Star Trek, eventually, the quest for the human race should be
furthering “knowledge” and what humanity can eventually develop into!
