The actions are adequately matched.
- A life of suffering will lead to a life with religious ascetics. However, it is seen as one of the extremes that should be avoided because self mortification is unprofitable and unworthy.
- A life as an Hindu Prince leads to a life given to pleasures. This is seen as the other extreme because it also leads to being unworthy and unprofitable.
- Meditating under the Bodhi Tree leads to the path of enlightment. It is what leads to "The Middle Way" between "Eternalism" (which is denied by Buddhism) and "Annihilationism" (Budhism accepts the fact of existence. Therefore things can be destroyed.)
The secret ballot was introduced in the 1920’s so the voter can vote anonymously. it was to prevent the voter from getting stereotyped, hated on, threatened, etc. by others who were against who the voter voted for. it was also not wanting their name out there for others to know who they voted for,
just for a sense of the voter wanting their own privacy/space in general.
