So it is. The socio-political honeymoon has finally began formally and officially today — after all the noise of the campaign period, plus all the uproar of the pre-proclamation weeks. This is neither the time to wring hands nor to show sour faces. Much less it is the occasion for the losers to mop, nor for the winners to lap it up. Instead, this is the time: To pray for the country. To wish its public officials well. To implore the citizens not only to claim their rights but also to do their obligations. Be it the customary 30-day honeymoon period, be it a little less or more, it provides a good occasion for all the parties concerned, the winners, the losers, and the general public, to stay united, to do their job, to stay cool and calm, and to watch — even but for the meantime. Worry they should not because the right time and occasion — after the honey is finished and the moon is gone — to once again take account of the good or evil done by the winners, the uselessness or usefulness of the losers, and the unity or division of the general public.
