Are the adults of today
really mature for their years? In the years past after an election it has been
found that the effect of the turn out is brutal and the threat of blood shed
seems close at hand. To reason with any
American over politics, is an idea that has no grasp to reality or has any
ability to obtain it. During an election year you will find numerous
optimistically biased people who think that the fate of the world is in the one
person they want to elect. They also
believe that the destruction of the world is in the hands of the opposing candidate.
People hold to no reason
or law in the midst of a political argument. They appear to stop at nothing to
get the candidate they want to become the next President of the United States
of America. In a political fight individuals loose sight on who
they actually are and the people they are debating with. The hypocrisy of their
rules, reason, and attitude holds no standing to an actual intellectual
citizen. Family, Friends, and neighbors’ tension grows to a point where they
are thrown away and dismissed as enemies because of their personal opinion.
Why, do you ask? Because people are ridiculous.
This may be a good time
to give contemplation to what a democracy really is. Democracy is having the
“Free and equal right of everyone to participate in the system of government” (Dictionary).
Democracy is an adult term giving light that this is a country that elects people
of power by the voice of free and equal citizens.
To what democracy is not,
democracy is not a child’s playground where rules like, “Finders keeper’s loser’s
weepers”, or, “What I say goes because I’m the biggest kid around”, applies.
Where if the kid on the opposite side of the sandbox builds a better sandcastle
than you, you then proceed to go and kick the sand in their face and stomp away
in a tantrum. It is social equality to the citizens of America, but it is not a
free ticket to get what ever one individual wants.
Democracy is not an
absolute monarchy and is not a system that is rigged to only pick the worse
candidate that they possible can to ruin the lives of so many Americans. If you
or anyone else has the slightest uproar of who was elected the only person you can
blame is you and the people around you.
So why then are the
reactions of people because of their candidate loosing so harsh to a point
where people then attack on those who believed differently than themselves.
Aren’t those same people they call abominations and traitors the same people
they works with, have lunch with, and watch the super bowl with.
America is known for
having diverse people who are united in one single country. Every part of the
country is built in a different territory and region, and the diverse people
are grown to learn the basics of different morals. So why is one person’s
opinion better than another? I know that I feel that I see life from somewhat of
a mature stand point, but who am I to say I know more than the next?
There has been some talk
that the result of this new election has started a disturbance in the facebook realm.
And this seems quit off to me. Everyone who voted believed that they were
voting for the person they thought would best be suited for the title “President”.
And the polls were close, but there will always be a winning side, and a losing
side. But you have to understand that if you fall on the losing side that a majority
of people felt like their candidate was better suited.
So if you are one of
those people who feel like posting a picture saying that the people who
reelected Obama are the pure definition of insanity. Try to realize that you
are calling over half of this country insane. And you are acting out in a way
that is no better than a child on a playground.
