It is a popular lie that has been recited so often by people in authority that though everyone knows it to be false, we seem to accept it as reality. I consider it psychological bribery. People in authority - especially those who fail in their responsibilities – fear that the youth may rise and send them packing. So they have succeeded in making the youth believe they are leaders of tomorrow. Until the youth take over the nation’s leadership, they shouldn’t bother when public funds are stolen or when public services deteriorate. After all, their turn to “cut the national cake” would come tomorrow.
