If some one asks me what is your driving force, my reply would be one word - fear. So is it for most of other people, though they may not realize it, or may not admit it.
I was planning on a long blog post writing some personal stuff. Of course claiming victim hood. Because of my fear.
In America, the current president elect got elected because of fear of people. People there are afraid that they lose their jobs and livelihoods to immigrants and to outsourcing. When a person came along who told them that he will build a wall around the country, figuratively and literally, people gladly elected him.
Similar is the case in our country. Here the other people are muslims. We are afraid that they marry so many wives, the produce so many children. And one day they will outnumber us and start ruling us again. So the party which promised to show these pakistani people in their place, we voted for that party.
Even in regional politics, Kannadigas hate Tamilians because they are afraid of losing their jobs. Even the stereo type mother in law - daughter in law fight is due to the former's fear of losing her place in the house.
Instead of helping people to overcome fear, politicians always try to amplify fear and use it as a weapon for their personal gains.
