What Is Politics?

[kumaran pharma]

A little boy goes to his dad and asks,
"What is politics?"

Dad says, "Well son, let me try to explain it this way:
I'm the breadwinner of the family, so let's call me
capitalism. Your Mom, she's the administrator of the
money, so we'll call her the Government. We're here to
take care of your needs, so we'll call you the people.
The nanny, we'll consider her the Working Class. And your
baby brother, we'll call him the Future. Now, think
about that and see if that makes sense,"

So the little boy goes off to bed
thinking about what dad had said. [&:]

Later that night, he hears his baby brother crying, so
he gets up to check on him. He finds that the baby has
severely soiled his diaper. So the little boy goes to
his parents' room and finds his mother sound asleep. Not
wanting to wake her, he goes to the nanny's room.
Finding the door locked, he peeks in the keyhole and
sees his father in bed with the nanny. He gives up and
goes back to bed. The next morning, the little boy
says to his father,

"Dad, I think I understand the concept of politics now."
The father says, "Good son, tell me in your own
words what you think politics is all about."

The little boy replies, "Well, while Capitalism
is screwing the Working Class, the Government is sound
asleep, the People are being ignored
and the Future is in deep poo."
