That is the beauty of our system that one President can leave office and another come in without violence or a government overthrow. I realize that our system is not perfect, but it is recognizing the very fact of our imperfections that our form of government has built in checks and balances, with the Presidency working with Congress who in turn works with the Judicial system. I realize that our voting system is not perfect either, but this is not the first time and it won t be the last time either. It took years for African Americans to vote and it took even longer for women to gain the right to vote. This election emphasized our diversity.
Diversity has the potential to be a good thing or a bad thing.
Diversity is good if the lines of communication remain open. It goes so far as to say Love your enemies. We all know that times of transition can be stressful and even scary. In times of change, there is a tendency to hold on too tightly. It takes effort and work to intentionally keep an open heart and to trust.
