The election fraud of the ruling party is a great temptation, not only for those who are cheating, but as well for those who were impaired by that fraud.
It is easy to answer the evil in the same way. Nothing easier.
Old Russian proverb says:
"Who struggles the dragon for hundred years, becomes the dragon himself."
It's usually much easier to hate the injustice than love the justice. Sometimes it's much more difficult to live for goodness and justice than to die struggling against injustice.
Let us not allow that our hearts get poisoned by hatred, revenge and intolerance. Let us not allow to become similar to those against whom we are struggling.
"For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?" (Mark 8:36)
In vain is our freedom to speak up our thoughts and feelings if, during the struggle for freedom of speaking, our thoughts and feelings lose the freedom of spirit and become the slaves of hatred, revenge and intolerance.
History teaches us that after each revolution a totalitarian regime arose. Remember the French revolution. Mass, used to think and act totalitarian, changes the rule, but not the principles of their thinking and their hearts.
As we do not want to support such processes in the society, this student protest should not defend political party, but the principle of basic human rights. We should not raise our voice against the ruling party, but against the ruling fraud. And whenever there is a need for it, we should defend the truth and fight against an ideology of darkness.
Let's keep in our minds that a bad ideology doesn't have the power of evil itself, but is the shield against the conscious of people who carry the power of evil in their hearts. Also, let's keep in our minds that the system can not be worse than the people who it consists of.
So, instead of imaginative class, national or religious enemies, stand up and fight against the greatest enemy which is the evil in our own hearts.
Let this election fraud be a good challenge to overcome the evil by goodness, to transform hate into love, to answer to aggression peacefully.
"There's no army nor the police who can break the will of people who have decided to give a peaceful resistance." (Gandhi)
