I believe corruption is in human
nature, just watch a group of children playing building blocks. There is always
this child that smoothly but deliberately punches the blocks down and enjoys
seeing them scattered, his friends crying, he is the only one smiling.

His mother rushes to his side with
the scientific excuse that it’s part of growing up, and that eventually he will
grow out of it. Which to a certain extent is true — if he is punished and has
learnt to respect rules and boundaries, otherwise his dark seed will overcome
him.
Indeed, corruption is a dark seed
resides in human nature, forcing whoever nurtures it to act in an unacceptable
social manner. It becomes contagious and socially acceptable when trying to
rationalize it, only then does corruption become more dangerous than weapons —
and more dangerous to the person that’s corrupted than to others around
him.
Corruption comes in many shapes
but no matter how small, it always reproduces injustice and hinders
progress. Social misconduct such as
lying, steeling, forging, bribing, fraud, and other dishonest performances are
only a few of the names corruption takes.
And it is omnipresent. Its root
cause is greed, along with bitterness and anger. All expose human weakness.
The opposite of corruption is
righteousness, which demands a lot of effort in the face of the mounting
resilience tackling it.
In my imagination, corruption is
bad fruit in a fresh and healthy basket, or a wolf in sheep’s clothing.
In our current times, corruption
is the most pressing concern; it is still making headlines. It is the enemy of
progress. It fuels poverty, political instability, and is a threat to economic
growth. There should be no justifications or gray areas, because only when
there are expectations, does it becomes part of social identity.
I truly believe that the answer to
all the world’s problem is love. Just dwell on this idea of enforcing the law
to reach harmonious life by urging them to stimulate love. Love is the base of
all laws. It leads people from accepting and loving themselves to loving their
neighbors, and eventually to having control over such dark seeds, bearing in
mind that faith along with establishing law and order is key to societies’
growth and prosperity.
