A Child's Playground...

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.
