January 23 of definition in the terms of legitimacythe concept of legitimacy has been etched to my own mind ever since when i was a young kid, and until now, even now, when im just less than 4 months away from turning 17, i still do not forget this concept...
defined rather differently depending on the terms one is using, it nonetheless meant "an entity of authority which is recognised by the law". besides that, it also means a lineage, parentage, bloodlines, inheritance in the terms which is acknowledged. it is an extremely powerful word, which can be used by individuals to either bestow or to deny someone of their rights -- only the legitimate heir could ascend to the throne... only the legitimate players are entitled to the championship.. etc. defying this concept has been one of the main reason for many dynastic or family struggles for inheritance, glory and power...
if one is to say, in our terms, what defines the boundary which falls under this concept? the answer..very simple: only 3 criterias to fulfil, much less than those of even higher authorities, as this thing will only affect those who are under a club or association... the first, is the recognition from the teacher advisors, their recognition always spell certain meaning in the decision of the votes.. secondly, support from the seniors with almost the same reason mentioned beforehand.. the third and the last, support from the students and the others for your leadership to be stable and without any trouble... and preferably two thirds of majority.. as simple majority would not suffice
for long all presidents or chairman of the clubs and associations are chosen under these conditions... yet in this year, (now enters the offensive part) there is one who attempted to challenge this concept and invoked the anger and hatred of many of the form 5 people. this girl, i will not address her directly in the name, as in my style of addressing people, thus in this case, she will be known as the 'elven princess', the former (or rather still present) companion of the archbishop himself.. listed below will be among those things in which she had done in order to place herself right on the pinnacle of the associations or clubs she joined...
i) forging cordial relations with the teachers, ensuring things will go well on her behalf, at least not without any trouble...
explanation: this one is narrated to me by a dozen people, and even the elven queen is aware of it, only that she does not even bother to take heed of those words of warning... as in the year of 2008, she has been reported to play traunt on many meetings of the uniform associations... only to accompany someone. this also happened during chess meetings, where she was reported to have disappeared to the open hall (same reason as before) after she submitted her cocurriculum book... what pact has been dealt is not known to us, but suffice to say, it has enabled to worm her way out of trouble, way too much...
the archknight's point of view: while maintaining relations with teachers is always good, but when someone is using it for his or her own profit, then it must be checked at times to prevent he or she from becoming too powerful and beyond control....
ii) requesting or threatening others to vote for her in all high offices, as well as 'using' others as stepping stones
explanation: the very act which undermined the meaning of "justice" and "democracy", which all strived. as early as this morning it has been reported that she toyed a form 4 guy who took a liking or devoted to her for a long time (again, the reason is unknown) to bring as many of his friends to the same club or association in which she joined to vote for her.. what for? if she is really good (which 9 out of 10 seriously doubt it, whether openly or backstab), then even if she did nothing to consolidate her advantage all will still vote for her despite lack of advantage... secondly, it was reputed (lately proven) that during the annual grand meetings she either asked the juniors to vote for her, or threatened them... to her fury, her gambit failed during the sports house annual grand meeting, and i was told that she flamed at them...
the archknight's point of view: threaten the others for your own advatageous ends? what for? you try to do it only to make yourself even more hated by the general populace..secondly, this undermines the concept of liberty and the rights of others to choose their desired leaders for themselves...furthermore, the juniors do not have a clear picture of all the people who are capable of doing great wonders and miracles, as the prefects took all the glory for themselves due to their higher status.. while some are really capable to be entrusted of the task, some are just there to show off...
III) filing protests against the decisions made by the past seniors
explanation: her ultimate tactic, used on the annual grand meeting for unifrom association on 21st january 2009. widely known to be desiring posts or lust and craved for power, which can be concluded as power-hungry or power-concious, it is of no wonder that the very moment she got wind that the seniors of the past year did not assign any posts to her at all, she went berserk, such that she launched a backstabbing act against the decision made by the seniors, claiming that the seniors choose the board members based on the friendship, not on the terms of merit.. ironically, due to the first tactic she used the teacher advisors were naturally easily convinced and thus the previous decisions made by the seniors were rendered illegitimate or void, which culminated in the reelection of the board.. the worst backstab came after -- the supposed-to-be-president is now under her authority, being the assistant secretary...
the archknight's point of view: usually the seniors are the ones who know the members best, not the teacher advisors. thus, any decision made by the seniors to determine the new members of the board is always based on their knowledge and image on the person in question, not in friendship.. for the sake of the club or association itself i personally believed that the seniors will never choose a person who will lead them to ruin in the future. as a conclusion, the decisions and recommendations made by the seniors are usually the best proof of authority and choice... perhaps even surpass the teachers' eyes... as for her who is denied from having any post, she should actually think back and reflect herself, she played traunt throughout the past only to meet her bf... (and i clearly understand that there is absoultely no fault in his part, who actually fell victim to her diabolical schemes) thus, how could the seniors actually see the quality that was in her?
suffice to say, these 3 things are her procedures to pave her way to power -- the ultimate dream of hers... her 'spell' invoked charmed many until some have not awakened, the archbishop is one of those, as he still spoke to her defense this morning when almost half the students of 5S1 proposed a motion or vote of no confidence against her. if this is the case, personally i think that she should be extremely grateful to him, who is still willing to defend her despite the 'uprising' against her.. to the stage that all of us called him 'feeder'... yet to the lament of many and the fury of all, at the end of july last year she betrayed him in favor for others, and it is still the case now.. her diabolical desire for power will prove catastrophic should her onslaught is allowed to be remained unchecked...i do not fear for myself, but i fear for those who are under her, be it prefect or otherwise...
at the same time, i would like to pay great respect to those who attempted to resist her arrogant onslaught or nature, most notably the thinker... (or master biologist if you wish to address her as such) despite losing her post, she persevered, fought extremely hard to defend the others from being denied of any post (this included the high master, who was actually promoted) with the darkening of hearts as age grows, it is a rare sight to see someone who is so noble who could sacrifice herself to fulfil the wishes or defend for the others... truest regards of salutations i shall convey...
at the end, i would like to express my most sincere apologies to those who i inadvertantly offended, notably the archbishop who defended her still.... i do understand your thoughts and devotions for her, and it is one loyal thought which by right should be recognised or reciprocated, but unfortunately denied, however for the sake of justice and the rights of people who are deprived the right to vote, as well as protecting them from being ruined and come under the torment.. objections must be done...
by the way, as i adjourn this rather lengthy post, i would like to wish everyone happy chinese new year!!!!
