"DEMOCRATIC RELATIONSHIP VS. RELATIONSHIP DEMOCRACY"

In the world where we debate over Democratic Citizenship vs Citizenship Democracy, we often tend to forget the key yet very fundamental issue of Democratic Relationship (DR) vs Relationship Democracy (RD). 
Entire world seems to be talking and taking actions to set up Democratic model of Citizenship wherein they can choose their Govt to be benefited with the set up and yet they struggle to implement the corresponding model of Citizenship Democracy which is much wider and complex term as it required huge amount of understanding, freedom and will. DC where provides a framework for humans to set up a Political, Economic and Legislative framework, the Later practices the real meaning of Democracy wherein Citizens choose and live the Democratic setup they what and unfortunately this is at the verge of extinction. 

We are so engrossed in these broader terms those provide a framework to people to design their ECO -System of the country, that we tend to miss the micro level impact of these on the lives of humans. Any Democratic setup can’t exist without an efficient Setup for Democratic Relationship and Relationship Democracy and this is the pity that hardly anyone has taken any structured steps to think, explore or establish these.

Off late societies have started accepting the selection of the partner and relation basis the choice of individual and have started accepting the love marriages, inter-cast associations and same gender emotions, but unfortunately such Democratic population is hardly <1% of the entire pool. Democratic Relationship is limited to selection of a partner or Relationship basis your choice and there is hardly any extension to it. Whereas it requires a broader meaning and extension to it. On the other hand, Relationship Democracy is a word which you will hardly find in any civilization in present terms, as it is very complex term, a concept which provides ultimate freedom to the person to live, choose, act and the way they want and with the person of choice, irrespective of tenure, intensity and commitment. You may misunderstand it with the concept of open relationships and Adultery, but it is not. This term has deeper meanings wherein there are no boundaries on the person and he/ she has the liberty to live the life they want and awarded with and yet they remain in the relationship of their choice provided by Democratic Relationship and yet society sees the person with respect as it is his democratic right to choose and act. These terms require deeper understanding and experience for a person then only individual can really sense the meaning of it. It calls for huge amount of emotional turbulence and journeys of guilt in case the other person is not of the same school of thought. It only provides freedom to exercise the options available with the human being with mutual respect and trust to comeback with pride, even with the broadest possibility that he/she may not turned back.

Democratic setup is a combination of Rights and duties and this applies to DR and RD as well, DR provides the Right and freedom to choose a relationship as per individual’s will whereas it brings huge amount of duties to be in that relationship till the last breath, on the contrary, Relationship Democracy opens the doors of any boundaries/ restriction, you enjoy unlimited freedom for self and other and bears the duty to provide similar freedom to your partner, which is easier said and done, but when you believe in the doctrine of Relationship Democracy, then you must practice the same for all and see with respect.

  1. Wow Oiseau, this is really a thought provoking and novice concept.. I believe in the changing society norms and value system, broadness of perspectives, acceptance of relationships beyond traditional norms but this seems to be giving a newer level to all that emerging. You have really nailed it right and put across things so beautifully.. DC VS CD is incomplete without DR Vs RD.. It's a new beginning and a new flight.. I hope this concept reaches to its highest levels of awareness as Oiseau roams the sky with its utmost freedom and strength.

  2. Interesting word, DR and RD!
    I feel DR is a book of norms of a coutry on how to behave in a relationship, or broadly how to behave in a society.Flipping DR with RD will call for an extension of these norms by a country to a level where we can think of humans having highly disciplined mind, which can still holds the society without the hard core do's and dont's in a relationship.
    It will happen for sure, because we are learning to live better constantly. Today is for sure better than what the days used to be of past decades.
    Keep damaging your brain cells for better society!
