The word "democracy" is important; language is important, but so are the People

The word "democracy" is important; language is also important, and the most important aspect of the "word" democracy is each and every individual at the Bottom of the structure of democratic government. In other words, the People are the essence, in a very real way, of democracy. Democracy is more than a word, its an actual 'condition of togetherness'. The problematic is how do we retain that condition in a viable way. The only way is to constantly remember the integrity of the individual, or of ones own self, and all his/her attendant rights to a Free and Equal existence within any Polity. If we learn to respect the integrity of one's own individuality, we can apply that same attitude to the integrity of the 'Other'. I am as important as You; You are as important as I, and we both are as important as everybody else in the world. Its not the "I" or the "you" that is important, its the human condition and its integrity that's important. Being human and having 'life' is our condition; that condition needs government, but only a democratic government will suffice. No other form of government can have the required respect and integrity towards the human condition and no other form will 'allow' the People to govern. How can governments fight over their so-called political 'ideals' and in the process, take the lives of innocent men, women, and children? Children!!, Babies, 3,4,5,8, years old! For heavens sake, lets wake up to our corroded sense of what it means to be a human being. Unfortunately, Government is as 'good' as its People, but its individual leaders that lead Nations into war. Yes, Government must be structured to reflect the sanctity and integrity of the human condition, but how do we reach the 'sanctity' and 'integrity', that should lurk within the chests of our Leaders. I said "should", because sometimes it seems that it's really not the faults or failings of the structure of government, as the faults and failings of the human condition. ( God help us)
