Thou Shalt Love Thine Party in Moderation - Election May 2013

"The opinions that are held with passion are always those for which no good ground exists; indeed the passion is the measure of the holders lack of rational conviction. Opinions in politics and religion are almost always held passionately.' says Bertrand Russell.

Setting aside the debate about who has the right to our votes, it is very important for all of us - the inhabitants and residing nationals of a socio-politically fragile country - to remain moderate in our hopes about the outcomes of the election and the subsequent events. It is only with composure, poise and far-sight that we can suitably translate our passions into something constructive. Be sure that your beliefs in political parties do not override your love for the country - the country and not its bits and pieces, for limited nationalism and provincialism are as good as feeding one child of yours while letting the other one starve. 

Love moderately. Long love doth so.
Too swift arrives as tardy as too slow.
*Love each other in moderation. That is the key to long-lasting love. Too fast is as bad as too slow.* - Shakespeare
