DEMOCRACY’S WAY
DEVELOPING PERSONALITY. “Democracy is not benevolent despotism or social services, or even political and economic equality." said Sir Richard Livingstone, president of Corpus Christi College, Oxford, in a recent address. "Its genius and greatness lie not in what it gives, the citizen but in the demands which it makes on him. Under democracy he must tax himself, vote for his own military service and impose burdens on himself. That is not the comfort of a democratic regime, but it is its nobility. It develops human beings it shows its respect for their personality and enable it to grow. For a personality grows not by what is done for and to it. but by what it does for itself and others."
