Politics of Interests
People's motivation are essentially backed by certain interests. These interests could be altruistic or personal.
So in dissecting the various interests of people, as expressed in personal interest, professional interest and political interest, we are likely to observe how individual interests, communal interests, organisational interests, national interests and continental or international interests interact.
We know how conflicting some greedy and selfish interests, hurt our communal and national interests.
We know how unsustainable these negative interests deny all of us the collective good we seek as a nation.
But the interesting thing about interest is that we all have one or two or more, which is very pronounced in the politics of interests.
However, in aggregating these interests, we have a dignified duty to be altruistic and communal in our approach.
To scale the tide of corruption, we even have an urgent task to not only train our children but to help them appreciate shared lasting values of integrity, honesty and respect. These shared values are the essential softwares for our nation building we cannot toy with.
We sometimes have to go the extra mile or sacrifice our peculiar interests for the common good.
We need to tell our children the truth that money is not everything, and instil in them the basic fact that values and manners makes man.
May God bless our efforts
God bless you.
Good morning
