Without fraternity, equality and liberty will be no deeper than coats of paint.
— B.R. Amdebkar, 25 November 1949.
The definition of democracy started at its first level with the individual. At the Second Level, we did consider society as a whole, but mostly inasmuch as the personal liberties of one individual were limited by that of other individuals.
We now conclude our thorough definition of democracy with humanity as a whole and the best it has to offer and what it means to be truly human: compassion, solidarity, mutual help, etc.
Each human being is at a different stage of human development. Some are intellectually, artistically, humanely, spiritually more developed than others. Some are successful, well established members of society, others obviously struggle to deal with themselves and their lives.
As humans, we cannot help but want to help others grow, so that economically, humanely and spiritually, they can learn to stand on their own two feet.
The most important actors of democracy are ourselves. Through our civic engagement, we help shape the society.
There are countless charities and organisations doing admirable work to help humanity...
