My Take on Corruption

There's a little bit of corruption in everybody's life.(Remember the ad "There's a little bit of SAIL in everyone's life".)
"The whole country has woken up" that's what media term this ongoing movement. Where they were asleep before?? I dunno.May be yes, may be no.Tell me , haven't you wanted to get things done quickly.Haven't you taken credit in doing things quickly??I think no one can say "no" as an answer to this.

The basic cause of corruption is the need to get things done ASAP. The other main reason would be to make illegal things legal.You think corruption is related to money. No, actually it is related to thoughts.Take for instance you are waiting for your chance at an movie theatre queue.The first thing you will do is to search for some person whom you know in the queue ahead of you.If you are lucky to find some one, at that very instant you have corrupted your mind by excusing yourself from the queue.The truth is that we can't wait and for that we are willing to do anything. Here money is not the constraint, here the thought is what is corrupted.There are numerous examples like this. 

And people in the whatever institutions take advantage of this attitude of ours.Remember always if you point a finger to a person , three of your fingers are pointing towards you.To kill corruption you need to kill the urge or the need to getting things done easily.Be the change you want to see in the society and in turn it will reflect in the nation.

I support the ongoing movement against corruption but along with that there should be a movement inside each individual which should erase the root cause of corruption- The Inner Greed.

Rightly said. In fact we all are corrupt in one or another way. But we think that only crores are counted as corruption. We are the people who grew these corrupt politicians, then fighting against them. What an irony!

Thought provoking post. Glad to see a post after such a long. Wondering why you broke the monotony of writing...:)
