The Pack of Hungry Wolves

The way I see it the insults, cruel remarks and teasings on the web about PAP's youngest candidate can best be described as a pack of very hungry wolves, so severely starved and on a constant look-out for prey, pouncing on a helpless chick left unguarded out of the coop. It is therefore inevitable as it is a natural behaviour arising from severe starvation.

The ruling party pleas for the netizen's rational thinking alluding to the country's quantum leap to first world economic status, the stable government which attracted foreign investments, the able leadership this far etc etc. However many of its citizens reckon all these at the back of their mind but yet demand change to the one party system. It is almost like an instinctive or innate desire that sometimes defy logic. What do these wolves hunger for? It is as if these wolves were kept in an enclosure or maybe a zoo, were fed their regular meals, but could not live out their life as born hunters gaming at the first smell of blood. The hunter instinct is so well repressed that it bursts out in the form of imagined hunger so exaggerated that it has to be appeased at all cost.

Amongst the social causes that attribute to the fall of the almighty city of Ancient Rome is the decline in patriotism and allegiance to the state, a form of disengagement amongst the masses. This was accentuated by a decline in moral fibre. Citizens lost interest in the government as it became too distant for them.

So if the wolves are behaving hungry, it may still be a good sign. At least they are not lying in coma in their nurseries.
