poised to fail

No doubt, curosity is the mother of great progress and developments made in our world, in our society. But more and more, at least from where I am, I see unhappiness and disillusionment as essential ingredients for change. In a way, for the continued 'evolution' of society, through political changes.

I often wonder, what is the worst that might happen if my government stops drafting up new measures, new policies, new initiatives to ostensibly protect us. I often doubt the motive behind every new policy they announce to safeguard our interest, be it financial, economical or social. Each of these policies reeks of assumptions that we are ignorant, stupid and/or needy.

Somehow, this year, while on the personal front and family front, things have been pretty smooth, my sentiment towards my own country just grows more and more negative. Is there a rock-bottom that we should hit, as a country, before things can look better? Is there really light at the end of the tunnel?
