Human life, evolving from primitive to civilized ways of living, has also seen the emergence of various ideas and ideologies. Throughout history, humanity has experimented with diverse political systems of governance. However, none has succeeded in establishing a truly fair and just system that brings a "heavenly abode on earth" for all. Even the democratic system, which advocates fairness and justice, is not perfect, as it too can be manipulated. Despite its deficiencies, democracy is accepted by most countries around the world. What makes the rainbow beautiful and interesting are the different shades of colours. What makes humanity interesting is the variation of our race, colour, language, culture, etc. So why fight and Kill one another. -Dr Mohd Abbas Abdul Razak
