A couple years back, I had to make a tough decision: 'Casting a vote'. It was my first and a huge responsibility, which I couldn't afford to go wrong about. The confusion was - should I vote for the party or the idealism it advocates or for the representative? Somewhere there was a dissonance. I couldn't put them all in one correct box. I have a habit of arranging things and putting them in order, whether it's filed in the email inbox my closet, or the thought process. Here I couldn't fit them in one place.
Should I cast my vote then?
I should! every single vote counts!! It's a question of a nation's fate. I should cast my vote.
But to whom? the better or the worse? does it solve the problem? will it help?

How do 'I' as an ordinary speck in the universe, make a very important contribution that should not fail? There is no guarantee. Once in power, all virtues and morals take a back seat. History may repeat. If I pick the wrong candidate can I forgive myself? I am the common man. I do not understand politics well. I do not speak the intellectual language. I do not understand political complexities. Can I do justice?
Do I even count?
Every citizen counts. That's democracy. Unfortunately, democracy has been misused, misrepresented, and misdirected.
