Several of my younger friends have spoken of their own "political awakening" in this year's General Election. I first had my "political awakening" in the 2006 elections, and even wrote in to our local Chinese newspaper Lian He Zao Bao, titled ≪大选之后的联想≫.
However I now think it's more aptly termed "heart awakening" instead. It's good that this election has provided a trigger for many people to take time from our busy schedules, to pause, see, feel and reflect upon what's really important in our lives and the lives of fellow Singaporeans. This already transcends political views because I see many people have this same "heart" & compassion, be they supporters of the ruling party or the opposition. It's heart-warming.
Did the political party you support score a "victory" or "defeat" in this year's election? No matter what, tomorrow is a new day. We may not be politicians, but we can each do our part for our country, our home, ourselves. What plans do you have? What steps are you going to take?
With consistent actions and efforts, our "awakening" moments will lead to positive impacts on areas we want to improve.
