Democracy & Excellence


Majority of people by definition are average, for that is what average means. Average in intelligence, average in courage, average in creativity, average in resourcefulness… 

And since democracy is majority rule, it is also average rule – a government of average people, for average people and by average people… 

It is least surprising, therefore, that in many cases we find democracy becoming a stumbling block and a deterrent to above average, extraordinary people, work and achievement… 

Who knows, maybe the essential nature of excellence is undemocratic? 

Or so it seems at times!
