Older Politicians & their Struggle


Sometimes, adults behave in an amateurish way irrespective of their age. It is a known fact that human beings, when aged, start behaving like kids. May be, this is the reason why our old politicians stick to their powerful positions until they die. At the age of 60, they declare political war on their rivals. They behave aggressively and ready to sacrifice an armada of their own men to get that political seat. At that age, normal people are expected to be chary even to do a cinch; but our old politicians defy that norm and are willing to take risks. However, they are unable to sync with the new generations expectations. Because of this, they may face discordant situations in their political life from their young rivals.

Due to their old age, they cannot speak clearly and the young generation does not have patience to hear their double dutch speeches. While escapades are the trend of young generation nowadays  and quick decision taking is expected to solve crucial issues, older politicians due to their born and brought up won’t encourage and are unable to do such kind of dare devil acts. Hence, they cannot espy the next generations’ ideas and vision.

Again, all this creates farrago of misunderstandings between older and new generations. Now, in the name of creating friendship and understanding between generations, religious priests in their traditional white smock step in to the politics, finally creating a mishmash of political ideologies, religion, and public service.

In summary, the main root cause for all this mayhem is the selfish self-promotion of older politicians, who are interested in neither public service nor country growth.
