Dear Leader: Is he on the Right Path?It is amazing to read and to listen to others when they boast that since they are the majority or their popularity is up therefore they are on the right path. Right path for them really means they are the majority or they are in power therefore they are right i.e they have legitimacy in their actions be it detrimental to themselves or others.
Such shallow and false analogy therefore means that Kim Jong Il's dictatorship for instance and other dictatorship around the world are legitimate since they have the majority or rather the people are behind them. The fact that such support is artificial and bogus since they are coerced and not given voluntarily is irrelevant. For those fools, what ever decisions made or taken which are supported by the majority are deemed on the right path again not considering the reality that such may be hazardous to themselves and others.
Being on the right path for them can be measured easily through the increasing or decreasing of approval rate of their 'Dear Leader'. They seem to forget that numbers do not reflect truth in fact most often than not, bigger numbers mean high risk of corruption and such 'huge' support itself may be solicited through illegal means such as corruption and abuse of power.
Take the Holy Prophet for instance, he propagates Islam in a time where deities worshipping is the norm of the day, women are being mistreated and treated as mere commodities without any visible legal rights of their own and many other wrongful acts but are being steadfastly adhered by the majority. Now, are they saying since those constitute the majority therefore they are on the right path? Such is an extreme analogy but since they attribute increasing popular rating to mean right therefore the extremity of this analogy is negligible.
Being on the right path necessarily means that one is uphold not only his interests but he also takes into consideration the interests of others. Being right therefore means being righteous since righteous implies justice and fairness to others including those who are in the minority.
