To vote or not to vote!

"Ag ak manboto!" She told the group, with her fingers waving in the air to emphasize that she would NOT vote during the coming elections.

"Ampano man-pasnok so sakey no agko iboto." This time she said this with a confused and hurt look . She would not want to hurt the feelings of any of the political candidates. Thus, she would not vote.

Probably, for her, it is important that the candidates who are close to her heart, would not feel bad if one of them would not receive her vote; and if ever one of them would lose (which with certainty, one will surely lose), then she could claim that she was not a part of the reason why that particular friend-candidate lost.

I guess she is voting (or not voting, for that matter) for the sake of the political candidates.

She is wrong!

She should vote! Not for the sake of the candidates, but FOR HER SAKE! For the good of her CHILDREN! For the sake of the COMMUNITY!
