Why Concede?

Post elections never seems to change its face.

Rallies, request for recounts, and the never ending accusations of being cheated.

When the reality of being beaten sinks in and even before that, there can only be two ways on how to face it: protest or concede?

For an ordinary citizen, elections ones done, is done. People made a choice and thats it. For those who spend thousands if not millions just to be elected, taking the lossing side may take a lot of thinking. How to recover those losses take its toll....maybe....How to squarely face your opponents after all thats been said and than...indifference maybe...(hmmmm).

Conceding may not be as easy as it seems but for sure is the noblest thing to do after lossing. For all its worth, a person could only have done things which he saw best at the moment and all candicates have it right ( as they themselves said). If its still not enough, then there's always the next round...

The important part is, you are not one of those who stoop low just because their pride is at stake when they lose.
