"Politics is who gets what, when, and how."
-Harold Laswell
It is a striking fact that as long as two or more people co-exist in a given area, politics should prevail in their relationship whether they like it or not. When you are all alone, trapped in a dark room or stranded in an isolated island, do you think politics even exists? To whom would you play politics with? The classic examples for this kind of scenario are Adam and Robinson Crusoe. If Adam does not want to eat the apple, so be it. Crusoe believed in the Bible, and of course there would be no one to argue with his beliefs. However, Eve and Friday came. The results of their arrival are not especially enticing to even speak about.
Because we have our own interests, it is an unfortunate fact that sometimes our interests clash with one another's interests. I want A, you want B, but he also prefers A. Does that mean that you would blindly follow us and also prefer A? Of course not. Being the most intelligent animal on God's green Earth has also its own price. We keep on believing that we are the best, well in fact that somebody else are even better than us, we may never know. God is also intelligent like his prized creations as he made every individual unequal in terms of physical, mental, emotional, psychological, spiritual attributes to minimize politics as much as possible. Using the above example, if you decide to go your own way and pursue B, you would realize that you need him and me to help you in pursuing B. But we need to compromise. Before we help you get B, you ought to join and help us first in getting our A. Even though we had compromised, still, you got the worse end of it, as you get B on a later basis. It is because you lost in our "politics".
In the arena of professional wrestling, it is no secret that everything is scripted. A is scheduled to lose to B by pinfall, which C wants because he himself wrote the script. It could be said that A shares the same interests with C, but does B also share the same interests? Both A and B produced the same blood, sweat, and tears, yet B is given the pre-determined win because of certain circumstances. How unfair is it for A? It is a reality, and still, we get to watch WWE in particular as if everything is okay and all that. There is surely something going on that we don't know, and this is something that I would look forward to.
