Countdown Towards a Good World

Maimonides says that a person should always see themselves and the world in a perfect balance and one good deed, could change the balance of the world for good, and thus bring redemption to the entire world. Every time a country moves towards Democracy (away from dictatorship and tyranny) that changes that part of the world from a "bad" place (country) to a "good" place.

Since the early 199o's there have been enormous changes in the world, there has never been a time in history where this many countries have been under democratic rule versus dictatorship and tyranny. once India became democratic and now that china is slowly but steadily moving towards democracy that changes the entire playing field. Beacuse when these countries become democratic that causes a shift in the entire balance of the world because India and China together have about a third of of world living in their countries (1.2 billion people in India and 1.25 Billion in China) which suddenly puts a huge percentage of the world on the good side. in fact in December of 2007 it was announced that India is now the largest democracy in the world.

in Fact the Rebe pointed out that all these changes are signes of moshiach's coming ( he specifically mentioned the changes in India and China) and the fact that these are happening without bloodshed is also a first in history there has never been a time where such big changes took place without bloodshed.

below is another country that just got rid of their Dictator and finally became a democratic nation.

By Ambar Mainali/ Prakash Acharya

Kathmandu, May 29

Nepal turned into a federal democratic republic Wednesday ending about four centuries old monarchial culture through an overwhelming 560 votes of the Constituent Assembly (CA). In a historic verdict, the first meeting of the CA formally implemented the republican agenda provisioned in the Interim Constitution 2063 declaring Nepal a federal democratic republic state to be run under a presidential system. The verdict has put to rest 240 years of Shah rule turning Nepalese into sovereign citizens.

.....CA Chairman Gurung congratulated the members for being elected to undertake a historic responsibility of implementing the republic agenda and writing a new democratic constitution.

....Addressing the historic meeting, Prime Minister Girija Prasad Koirala reiterated the need to forge consensus not only till the time of writing the constitution but also after that to ensure the consolidation of democracy and human rights. He said that consensus among the political parties in the course of the past two years had been instrumental to bring epochal changes in the nation. Hence as consensus is more powerful than any weapon, all political parties should bury their differences and come forward to forge enduring consensus to address all the problems faced by the nation.“I would like to recall my saying that a day would come in an era when the nation would finally change its course,” Koirala said adding, “My dream has finally come true today and the nation’s dream also has come into fruition

....“We have arrived at a historical juncture where monarchy will now be rooted out completely and Nepal would be declared a federal democratic republic,” the PM said.

...Koirala said that a legal path had been opened towards ending all forms of violence in the country and the nation should focus on consolidation of democracy and human rights. “The CA should encompass the views of all caste, groups, class and community without inflicting any damage on the territorial integrity and sovereignty of the nation.” “I have always believed in rule of law and a democratic system,” he said adding, “I firmly stand by my belief and want all parties to stick to it.”
