The Significance Of Putting Public Service Before Politics

By Donald Davis


Politics is a term that has gotten pretty much muddled up and confounded with public service. In fact, the way things stand, its practically difficult to divorce the concept of the first from that of a business, career, or path to celebrity. Anyone can imagine just how unprepossessing that is. All those running for office should know how to differentiate and put public service before politics.

Thats a necessary mantra to keep in mind. After all, its easy to be misled on what the meat of politics really is. Recently, it has come to be a jump start to power. Politicians run for office to enrich and empower themselves. It goes without saying, but the nub of the matter is always on service. One joins the ranks so as to make the lives of their fellowman or countryman smooth sailing.

As you can imagine, a lot of things are left to be desired in any kind of society. The worst part is that most of them are held up in supplication to government bodies, reasoning that theyre the only ones that are practically equipped to do just about anything. When those in power are basically incompetent, then that puts everything in a standstill. Everything logjams, just because no one wants to shift their principles and priorities a jot.

You also have the Military. This one is responsible for maintaining a balance of power in the international arena that will best leverage a states interests. Most directly and particularly, its responsible for ensuring national security which, needless to say, is no mean feat. It branches out to concerns like technological capacity and geopolitical factors, and so on and so forth.

The point is, everything came by social consensus. Therefore, the results are essentially the voice of the people. Also, bad outcomes do not necessarily spell out the end of the world. Right through the end, you can still inject your voice to any issue at hand. And when worse comes to worst, you still have nongovernmental bodies to rely on.

And so we have mentioned services for the courts and resources like water and electricity. To particularize others, you have education. This can come in the form of free education or at least an affordable one. Perhaps a state college which is sponsored and supported by the government. This also makes a particular educational establishment more connected with the state, to a certain extent, and its up to you to toggle all the pros and cons in that.

The sectors which public service subsumes are many. In the end, most can just be pinned down to fundamental human rights. The political mother ship is responsible for bringing that about. In some cases, theyre responsible for supplying and dispensing certain thingamajigs, such as water. And generally, you just have those serving institutions from fire departments and paramedic groups.

And then you have concerns that are not altogether apparently pressing, but nonetheless hold disastrous clout on the future state of affairs. Such is the case with the endeavour of environmental protection. And then theres the more urgent and perpetually needed operations, like healthcare. This is perhaps among the most constantly demanded ones. As it is, they dont choose based on any fair and just variable, and its particularly hard on those that cant afford it.

Prioritization is key. Sometimes, its just so easy to get around things, or else sweep them under the rug. That must never be the case. Along the same tangent, one must not skip through other developments without taking care of basic ones first. Political issues are always divisive and controversial, and they do have to be solved sooner or later. Nonetheless, that shouldnt be at the expense of basic human rights.
