It is about time that we have a retirement age for politicians so that
geriatric senile faces are rested to enable them to spend their retirement
babysitting their grandchildren. This will make the much needed room to
infuse young experienced and talented blood into the political mainstream
which currently is in dire straits.
Politics has to be a call for service to what was once a noble mission.
Sadly today it is a self seeking investment and no longer a vocation. It is
now and often compared to the world’s oldest profession for obvious reasons.
Politicians should gracefully hang their boots instead of clinging on until
they are reduced to piles of political thrash. With all their experience
and good fortune, they should live up to the famous saying ‘Legacy is not
what I did for myself. It’s what I am doing for the next generation’.
Politicians should heed the advice of Thomas Monson, an American religious
leader who said ‘Let us not only remember the past and its required
sacrifice, let us also remember that we are responsible to build a legacy
for the generations which follow us’. Sadly, politicians today don’t leave
a legacy that is worth following! Very Silly Souls aren’t they?
