WHAT KIND OF POLITICAL ASSOCIATION SHOULD THE PEOPLE HAVE? by Aynaderka Odessa Vynn Padilla-Sison


Aristotle is one of the most eminent people in the field of Philosophy. I have no second thoughts about that. This is the main reason why, I give a hundred percent of my attention to every spoken thought that he has. It makes me analyze it word for word that leads me into more complicated ideas, and I don’t know if it’s a good sign for enlightenment or a sign of getting things harder to understand.
Let thy words be few. Because no way, that I am going to re-state again what Aristotle have said and what did he became a thousand years ago, written in a ten-page readings. But all I am certain of is that, there is no such perfect kind of system for each one of us. What I, others, and what do you want will always be in conflict even if we are only aiming for one goal, HAPPINESS. I may want a socialist kind government because it aims for equal distribution of properties for every person in the state. But it could also be that you want democracy as the form of government, or Aristotle wants Monarchy. We have different opinions and different beliefs.
A certain kind of system will only be perfect if every person would want the same kind of system or form of government. But since this is impossible to achieve, we are in the state of respecting each other’s opinion, explaining why we want this or that kind of system, asking or discovering why they want such, or worse becoming stagnant to what we believe in.
We are all political animals by nature according to Aristotle. To answer “WHAT KIND OF POLITICAL ASSOCIATION SHOULD WE HAVE?,” it is for us to discover what the answer is sooner or later.
