The proof of the pudding is in the eating.
It’s easy to get carried away in the moment, to make gargantuan claims about the transformative qualities of a person, even before that person has had a chance to do anything other than get elected. Of course, being the humans, we can’t help ourselves — it seems only natural to get swept up in a moment. To believe in a cause, or a person, so strongly, that when we come across someone who has an opposing view, we shake our heads, look at them with a pitiful gaze and think: if only this person knew the truth.
It can get pretty polarizing without a little perspective. So maybe we should all play the cards a little closer to our chests; keep a lid on major assertions; and not forget that although the pudding has been baked, we need to let it cool down before we can find out what it tastes like.
