As of today there is a new president of without question the most powerful country on earth whose influence on the rest of the world whether through the dollar or through military might is unquestionable.
This position needs a very strong and focused administration to fill it and despite how you feel about the outcome it is clear that for the majority of the world outside of the US then the democrats were the best outcome but for the benefit to the US internally then you could argue that the republicans were the best choice.
Now as we watched it it was said to be too close an election to call and yet it turned out to be huge victory for the republicans why were the poles so wrong?
Well in my opinion it comes down to human nature, people talk a good conscience but in fact inside their self interests outweigh any conscience they may have and that's why people probably said they were unhappy with the republican option but their self interest made them vote republican.
This is just human nature and is our very basic survival instincts kicking in!
If we did let our conscience rule our decisions as indeed maybe we should then we would not sell arms to anyone, we would not avoid paying tax, we would not have affairs, we would not cheat in exams or sports. But we do and again this is out of self interest.
Are we all the same? mostly!
Can we change? rarely!
But we can try, if more of us follow our conscience then maybe that could become an alternative survival instinct. If we all stop selling arms then there are no arms to kill us. If we all pay our tax then there are public services fully funded, if we stop having affairs then we have no broken families. If we stop cheating we are being honest to ourselves and not being something we are not!
