Elections are not a war
Written by Khaled Al-Banna
In a quiet village, a debate began about the upcoming elections. Sami stood on a small platform, trying to guide the people, saying that the candidate he was endorsing was the only one capable of saving the village. But Layla, a perceptive young woman, reminded the villagers that everyone had the right to freely choose their candidate.
The villagers were divided, and Abdo, the village fool, appeared, adding a comedic touch by saying, “Does that mean if we don’t follow Sami, the village worm will come?” The people laughed, while Sami raised his eyebrows in surprise.
As the debate intensified, the discussions became increasingly heated, but the situational comedy remained with Abdo's bizarre proposals, such as forming a mediation committee consisting of himself and the village duck. Amid the laughter, some of the arguments began to turn into comedic scenes, with people exaggerating their falls onto haystacks or near a puddle, and Uncle Hassanein comically exaggerating the injuries.
Hajj Murad intervened wisely, trying to calm everyone and explaining that elections were an opportunity for everyone to choose freely, and that imposing one's opinion would only lead to discord. Gradually, the residents began to realize the danger of manipulating votes, and they learned that differences of opinion should not be a cause for conflict.
Eventually, calm returned to the village, and the residents agreed to respect each other's choices. Abdo tried to vote for the duck again, and everyone laughed. Haj Murad emphasized that respect and freedom were more important than winning any election.
The lesson: Elections are a freedom; vote for whomever you want, but respect the freedom of others. Free choice is a responsibility, and chaos and discord arise from manipulation and coercion.
