walk of life

today in the parliament 12 mps walked out in protest when the parliament went ahead with the show of hand voting.. in a situation like this these 12 mps carried out a bold move.. but sometimes i often wonder is it better to walk away or to stay and see what you can ingest in to a situation? now, i don’t know the whole process in the wider context as i was not there at the parliament.. but i think our problem is trying to change this from the outisde.. this is no reference to the physical locations of the people but what i mean is most of the reformers tend to push from the outside trying to burst the social matrix constructed around us.... would it not be more easy to rupture it from the inside ?? change i think can occure within and for that change to happen we should change ourself... maybe this is my idealistic dreams... anyways for the parliament to go ahead with the show of hand voting is a blow to its credibility and much needed public relation.. i seriously don’t understand why the government did not go with the secret ballot.. as i am sure they would have won and could have gotten more ammunition.. not by 70 something votes for sure.. but still they would have won..

There's just a song in the trouble and the strife
You do the walk, you do the walk of life"
