The Divine Comedy
Murthu
Human beings are really complicated creatures. In one hand your basic animalistic instinct makes us savages. The wars we fight, the boundaries we make, the people we segregate are all driven by a 'selfish' need to over-power our environment and put our own individual needs before us. We have seen in our world, more so in 3rd world countries like India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, some parts of China, Mexico, a lot of the South American continent and most of the African continent. We can change though, there is almost an equal instinctual force guiding towards good.
In a beautiful study conducted, children as young as 1 year olds were given visual stimuli. Their reactions clearly indicated that they had a sense of 'morality'. We also know kids are not racist. Kids mingle much more easily with other kids without the cloud of religion, caste and political views. Kids run for fun, not to win medals (which are obviously a 'selfish' individual need, not demeaning it though). Kids are barely competitive, adults pollute them with competition.
Let's be kids. Let's have fun. Let's discard our individual needs. This is a virtual game, nothing over here will ever affect our life. Winning your hundreth BH medal won't mean anything 5 years later. But working together, with a sense community will train you for better things.
I need people to apply for the YUUVA party's congress. As the largest party, we'll obviously get the largest seats and hence can make the most difference. Electing an active congress is my first agenda. I have no political ambitions, I don't even have the time but when someone approached and asked if I could be responsible, I didn't want to miss the chance.
Here's the deal. You'll be selected as a congress member based on requirements I post on the YUUVA message thread. I will post them below again.
"I lost. Anyway.. let's work with the PP. As the largest party, the PP has the most influence over congress. Let's pick good ones and penalise them for their inactivity. Also, make it mandatory that all YUUVA congress members donate 3 gold, which will be used for dispatch to EVERYONE.
Another idea I had was make a checklist for all members to accomplish. If the PP deems that a congress member has accomplished his responsibilities appropriately, he should be rewarded the 3 gold by the PP if the congress member desires. Like all medals, let very congress member WORK for it.
ost of our current dispatch comes from donations, I believe? The profit from congress members, will act as a buffer. And the remaining after 'bonuses', will be used to reduce the dependence on donations. So.. the next term, we'll either have a little extra gold or real active congress members.
You're right. The PP in his good sense is a judge of that. It is up to him to decide which congress member has achieved his responsibilities (or tried hard enough)."
I recommend and propose:
1)Vijay
2)witty
3)Peter
People who are confirmed if they agree to the rules:
1)ultimatewinner
2)Neeraj
3)Broken1
I want to make the selection of congress a democratic process. If anyone thinks that people on the list don't deserve it, please comment below or send me a PM if you want to keep your identity a secret but it would be greatly preferred if we have a healthy debate here.
If you are interested. Add your names below. Depending on our situation, the number of regions, or IF we will even be able to have a congress, you will be under consideration.
By the way.. as I was describing. The conflict in our mind, between two different instincts, from either an evolutionary process or a powerful creator. The tragedy that it causes everyday, it is almost a comedy.

V n S, all the best for ur term 🙂
remove my name from list /_-
I think that I should be rich enough before taking up any leadership responsibilities. Also nowadays I could afford only 1 hour per day here. I'd like to continue as a congress member and not more than that.
^ problem with morality seems to be that those who have ethical values avoid public responsibilities, being sure that others have greater merits. On the other hand, those not very ”rich” in ethics, will accept any public position, to attain power.
Question:
How will you get out from this circle ?
Me for Congress
You donate 3 gold. And it will only be gifted to you if the PP thinks you have done a good job? Do you agree to the terms buddy?
okay.
Thank you!
