When someone is leaving a position, they often help the person taking over the job. A smooth transition gives the new worker a better understanding of the requirements of the job and shows them how the former worker operated.
When that job is an elected position, the outgoing official can help the incoming one. Citizens who had put their trust in the former official may have trouble accepting the new one. By delaying acceptance of the new, the government may suffer. Those who agree with the change may have an easier time than those who wish things were different. A smooth transition will benefit the future.
Some transitions are forced upon us. We may not want to change, but we have to adjust and look to the future. Other changes come as we evolve from one opinion to another. A time of transition can be uncomfortable as we go from a past way of thinking to a new, perhaps uncharted future. People around us may become confused as to what is going on. It may be easier for them if we stay the same.
Our lives require changes. As we go from one thing to another, we have to journey through transition.
