What do you think about politicians who step down for personal reasons; is it an act of self-care or abandonment of duty?

I think personal issues are fair reasons to resign from such a big role in society because of the fact that they are personal issues. One can never know what is going on in a person's life, so we have no say whether stepping down from, undeniably the biggest roles in the country, is an act of self-care or an abandonment of duty. I personally believe any personal reasons for resigning your role in country decisions is for self-care and to care for others, since the extremity of those personal issues can guide your judgement.

well i mean yes because is it an act of self-care or abandonment of duty

I see it as an abandonment of duty. Becoming a politician is a big commitment that should not be taken lightly.
