It's Human Nature, Stupid!

After viewing yet another Presidential election season, I have a theory to why we're always the same. Have you ever noticed that every election the issues are neglected and the same political strategy is the frontal observation of the American people? Voters would not pay attention to politics if all politicians did was to express their views on the issues thoroughly. That is like sitting in a classroom and listening to a teacher explain to you for two hours, on how the economy works. This is very boring. The candidates don't talk about the issues because they know what will really grab our attention: conflict, scandal, lies, etc. Just look inside yourself and take a look at all your interests. Every single interest you have relates to one of your emotions in some way.

Human beings are emotional creatures. The things that attract our attention and interests are things that feed into our emotions. We also love conflict because this excites our emotions fiercely. Have you ever witnessed a Democrat and Republican argue before? Whichever side of the political spectrum you're on, you're under the intense belief that you're right. You also have the impulsive behavior of trying to persuade others of your beliefs. Why is there war? One side thinks they're right, the other side believes the same. The result is that each side is willing to use force to enact their opinion on each other. Also, look at patriotism. Whichever country you were to go to, they would be under the belief that they are the greatest country in the world. I think it's humorous how some people think they are above all this. All you are doing is lying about your own humanity and we all know you're the same. You just rather hide it. Human beings opinions are their lifeblood and will defend them without restraint.

The media is brilliant because they have it to a science on what we want to watch. If the media did not spin a story to either be more exciting or scary, nobody would watch. The media always uses very strong words to describe the story. For example, crisis, meltdown, attack, war, etc. This will never change because our DNA will never change. Unless we were to evolve somehow without emotions.

All I have to say is instead of complaining all the time, sit back and enjoy the show. Defend your opinion and candidate because arguing is human. To deny your own humanity is to deny reality. Our emotions will always control our lives and we cannot change our species. There will never be peace, harmony, and happiness. We are human; we do not agree with each other unless forced to with military might! lol
