“Et Tu Brute, then fall Ceaser” – the tragic last words of Julius Ceaser on being stabbed by his own protege – Brutus. The political backstabbing continues over the ages and we simply shrug and say that’s human nature – is it?
What has unfolded in the Maharashtra Politics is not the first case, nor will it be the last – the lust for Power is overwhelming and the ones willing to play it can go to any extent to obtain it. The pursuit of Power, Wealth, Fame corrupts the mind so much that it cannot distinguish between right and wrong anymore. The problem is that the entire society has accepted such corrupted ways since Power, Wealth, Fame seem to be the only worthwhile pursuits and that is reflected in the behaviour of the leaders who go any lengths to grab power, wealth, fame…
A sad day for the Society since it lost yet another chance at redemption but Society is just a word for the collective and everyone wants to eat the ice-cream before it melts…
