Is Corruption a way of Life?

(Now, who would help out people using their professionals skills without expecting payment?) No one would try to, that is what I have answered (Do you think the politician have enough to give his help to the needy?) Certainly, the politician forced to be. (forced to be corrupt) It was good that a politician is doing a favor to some, however he gets back his monetary help from corrupting and bribery.

Now that you mentioned politicians, let me ask you a question. We work for a certain amount of time and get paid. Politicians, being human also expect the same. However they are requested to extend their reach again and again to accomplish some difficult task or help someone out. Now who would help out people using their professional skills without expecting payment? If he is doing you a favor using his political connections, he would certainly expect some sort of monetary renumeration. However when he does ask for this money, he is called corrupt and asking for bribes.

Yes, consequences do teach you. But sometimes I believe you're not left with any choices. You are cornered with nowhere to go. On the contrary, it also becomes an obvious choice when it's a win-win situation for all parties. For example, I have been a benefactor of corruption but not really out my own volition. I went to a driving school who also offer you the service of helping you apply for your licence. Well it so happened that later I found out that while some had to wait over an hour in queues, I had my application done in 5 minutes. Why? Because the driving school agent paid some touts to hasten the process and this money did come out of my pocket but I was unaware as it was part of the school fees.

Yes you're right. We all have the basic instinct to tend to ourselves. But as they say two heads are better than one. So I think you need a mass shift in human awareness to solve the problem. Anyways good post.

Good compact reply. By the way I sent you a message do check it out please.

Good conscience and sleeping peacefully you say. Well one might argue that you can have both even when you have committed what is generally accepted to be a crime. For example, when some terrorists kill innocent people they might have good conscience as well as peaceful sleep because they perceive it as a job well done that will reward them. So what you and I feel when we help someone in need, he feels by killing. I personally feel that conscience and peace are defined by parameters completely constructed by our own mind. I have some core beliefs and they define my conscience. And day of reckoning. Well the world is not absolute my friend. It's relative. Your reckoning differs from mine because your beliefs differ from mine.
