A child asked his father "what does political corruption means?"
The father answered "see.. It's not easy to understand it at your age but I can give you an analogy.
I spend money on this family so let's call me capitalism.
Your mother governs the affairs of the house and takes care of you and your little sister, so we will call her the government.
You are under your mom's responsibility so we call you the people,
while your little sister is our hope so we consider her to be the future.
Finally, the maid that is working in the house between cleaning and cooking we call her the working class.
Now, go think about it, and you shall understand."
Later at night the boy could not sleep from his little sister's crying as she needed her diaper changed. So he got up and went to tell his mom, but found submerged in a deep sleep and did not wake up when he tried to wake her up. Then he noticed his dad was not in bed next to her!
He went looking for his dad around the house when he heard the whispers and laughter in the maid's room, he peeked through the key hole and saw his dad engaged with the maid.
The next day the boy told his father that he now understands the meaning of political corruption.
He explained "While capitalism is playing with the working class and the government is asleep, the people become worried and neglected as the future swims in deep shit."
