Why not a smooth/cordial transition from power to opposition?

There is change everywhere and all the time. Even the climate, which humans used to think could be predicted with accuracy, has become unpredictable. It changes. It makes us guess while we shiver and sweat. It’s natural. Social, economic and political statuses transform. Those in power today, shall, as day follows night be out of power tomorrow, next week, next month, next year or whatever next time. It is a given.

Seeing that change is immutable, shouldn’t we the keenly observant species be wise, alert,  anticipate it and assist change towards a seamless transition instead of attempting to obstruct, delay, divert or abort it. By trying to frustrate the inevitable change, we may make the inevitable frustrate and make us regret our crass stupidity, of behaving like Canute, who tried to push back the ocean tide. You can’t push back the tide, but you can ride on it and allow it to deposit you at a new destination.
