The MC Dilemma

I really pity my friend, MC. He has been going through a dilemma for quite some time now. He is one who really cares for the college we are staying in, and also the development of our university. As the student counsel election gets closer, he really feels undecided on who he should vote for. If not for his care and, he would have less of a headache he is having now.

People in the college has been telling him to vote for the representative of the college, saying that if he fails, our college will not have a representative in the counsel, and thus if anything happened to the college, the counsel will not be of help, and people in the college will suffer. He has been thinking for a while, and this theory is actually very logical! “Ya! No doubt I should vote for our college representative”. Just as he tries to take this as a final decision, he feels something is not right, something is amiss. For a while he thinks, and he finally figures out what is not right. “It’s the candidate!”

He knows this fella for quite some time already. He is a nice guy, no doubt, in fact too nice to be in the counsel, he feels. He never argues with people, always give in when there are conflicts going on, and even apologized to appease people even if he is in the right. After hearing this, I finally understand why MC is so undecided and restless.

He keeps on asking himself whether there must be a representative in counsel for his college, or someone who really deserve to be in the counsel to bring the university forward. Both are logical choices, and he can only choose one. I suggest that “maybe we should go with the best candidate instead, since if this fella really get into the counsel, he also wouldn’t do anything for the college”. But his response is, “it’s unthinkable not to have any rep from our college in the counsel!”

I do not know how he decides to vote in the end, but if our college keeps on choosing candidate that is not capable and do not performs, I guess MC will keep on having this dilemma year after year.
