Why we need a 3rd Force in the form of humanity
I think Martin Jalleh in Malaysia Today wrote an excellent article to depict the current scenario. It is not about politics, it is about what we individually want in a collective sense when it is the truth and reality that faces those who hope in despair.

UMNO and its coolies are full of themselves to maintain their status quo; PAKATAN is forever riddled with their in-fighting, justifications and everything under the sun in their new-found power bestowed by the Makkal Sakthi, a clarion call of People Power naturally after the uprising of HINDRAF. These days, they would even antagonize and chastise this for their political survival.
The public is now in full-fledged flailing mode. Just two years ago, everything was Makhal Sakthi on a platform of hope and change. Hope that things would improve, by moving away from the UMNO facism of the previous 53 years.
Frankly, what difference have PAKATAN made?
As we ramble through life, we can observe that the true political spectrum in our society does not range from right to left, but from top to bottom. This is how any economic and political system really stake out; with each of us located somewhere up or down that spectrum – mostly down, in the perspective of material needs, and not one of humanity.
Right to left is political theory, top to bottom is the reality we actually experience in our lives every day when we continue to patronize either UMNO or PAKATAN when we are not even within shouting distance of the politics of the day.
This can change, if we the people form alliances with those who speak the truth and reality on the ground rather than appeasing UMNO though the main media and PAKATAN through the so-called alternative media.

The 3rd force can only materialize if it is one that is built on faith without any hope as those who engage in the 3rd force are ready to plunge themselves in activities no matter how it is played out in the main media or the so-called alternative media. And this 3rd force seems pretty saturated these days to ensure that the cause that they have embarked on is fair and just for all who continue to be a scapegoat for political ploys.
The freedom of mind in an individual can only be unfettered if one can understand that humanity is beyond politics.
We should not be dependent on political or economical forces, but one that embraces and are able to deal with what is the truth and the reality.
