I aM CoRruPt
I am corrupt! Am I?
I dislike the stagnation around me. I feel there is someone out there to blame for anything and everything that is not perhaps right. When I sit all alone I think and look for the cause I have an answer it’s the corruption!
Rising bills, inflation, poverty, bad governance, injustice, inequality, cruelty and the list goes on. I or any person in my vicinity can relate to corruption as the root cause of it all.
Why can’t these people do the right thing? I talk to myself my subconscious self. I feel frustrated with an urge to leave my surroundings to join a land where the root cause is absent. Where the list of wrong is not there. Is it those blessed ones have overcome this human virtue and outcast CORRUPTION from their communes?
Not in reality then what gives them the advantage that we lack as a group of people. One would think that its as simple as pointing the finger. But when you let your conscience play out impartially…. walla! you have the answer. The corruption is hidden inside my ownself!
I am corrupt ’cause I chose to accept. I am corrupt ’cause I don’t sacrifice. I am corrupt ’cause I fail to share. I am corrupt ’cause I fail to look farther. I am corrupt ’cause I believe that till we rid this virtue amongst us we cannot rid our problems.
I am forced to think, hasn’t this virtue always been in form of greed from the time of mankind’s inception? It it not true that societies around us, despite corruption have overcome similar coat lists of problems, as we are up against today. If your quest gives you an answer other than what we have been accustomed to, doesn’t that change the whole frame?
Have we been stuck in this moral hazard for long now that we must be a pure group of people / society only then bliss and happiness will be bestowed upon us. We all know that this battle will not finish in the near future so we will not succeed in any thing in the near future? Mind boggling huh! Are we the outcomes of such conditioning that is our biggest impediment. All I am left with is to conclude that until I overcome my own corruption in thought I can’t see a clear future for all!
We can succeed with fresh perspective and strategy and without waiting for idealism to diffuse amongst us all!
A couple of friends commented that we need nationalism the glue to bind us to face up the challenges. Another addition is we need people with commitment and no rocket scientists simply sticking to a straight path will bear results benefiting ALL.
But my stress is upon, till the individual doesn’t want to make the change they won’t put it in a dish for you. I suggest most humbly that it’s our ALL belief and value system that is not letting us make the required outcomes. I’m waiting for the urge to overcome the negativity!
