There are many things which make humans mature, immature, serious, pure and crazy. However, the 'nervous system' of every individual differs irrespective of his educational or religious background, age or social position in the community in which he lives, even beyond the prestigious position undertaken nationwide.

Human is liable to act bizarrely no matter the situation surrounding him. Only a few people are able to reflect on their positions in order to exercise restraint emotional disorders anytime there is tension.

Ghanaians are boomed with different suspicions after the release of the 2012 presidential election which was held recently this Friday 7.

Every Ghanaian has a specific perception as why the party he or she supports won the election. In the same way, the defeated parties' supporters also have their own unique conceptions as why their parties lost.

Perhaps, the most appropriate ways to maintain peace, tranquillity and equity is to be free-minded at this very moment of the year.

Politics could change our lives economically, socially, spiritually and intellectually if only it is properly managed and addressed with outmost care. The fruit of violence, intimidation and fighting could render this dear nation of ours into a very gargantuan chaos and disaster if care is not taken.

We need peace for development. No successful nation can be built on excessive fear, anxiety and tension.

Competition is conventionally assumed to be won by only one party. There might be strong desires and expectations to win when contesting a game, but one might also reserve a probability of losing in case there is no chance for victory.

This is the phenomenon which makes people appear mature and self-analysts in pertinent situations in societies.

We have a whole lot of things to do in order to move this country forward. So why can't we forget about the grievances we might have encountered in one way or the other so that we can turn this country into a place of excellence with respect to apt democratic dispensation in African and the earth as a planet?

Let us not “dispose of” the integrity, equity and maturity recognition which Ghanaians have been exhibiting for a long time.

Politics can never divide Ghanaians. It is older than anyone of us, so we should not allow its 'virus' to infect us, especially when Christmas is just around the corner.

Ghanaians are exclusively created by God so as we can harmoniously live together with little disputes which could be resolved by simple ethics of moral education. We are unique, so let the whole world continue appreciating Ghana for just that.
