Democracy Requires Sacrifice

Democracy Requires Sacrifice.

Replying to the challenge that democracy has not been much of a success, Dr. Mitchell explained that people have never given democracy a real trial. The success of democracy depends on the willingness of every single individual to fulfil his obligation in the development of society. This involves personal sacrifice, and unless we, as individuals in society, are prepared to do our share in promoting human welfare, the democratic State can never attain to the complete fulfilment of its ideal. Dr. Mitchell here quoted that wise saying: "A fool in the community, a fool in Parliament; a rich man in society, a rich man in Parliament; a wise man in society, a wise man in Parliament."
