Corruption!
This one word has drawn several headlines in the year bygone and continue to fuel revolutions around the world-from west to east. Many have lost their throne and invincibles have lost to defeat. And whose possessions seemed to be endless are today dispossessed of their SOUL and its dignity in their death. And consequently because of so much of noise-pollution it kept on our mind like nothing else. We who are not the beneficiaries of this unaccepted mode of leisure, comfort and power do certainly find ourselves on disadvantaged side of competition for excellence and worse of them who are victim of it for no fault of their own.
Who we are?
We all work in this world of limited resources for the use of which we have arrived at a mutually accepted standard practice established by law or tradition. The resources are ,of course, a means to make anenriching experience of life of everyone of us whom we invite by love-making and who oblige us by coming from nowhere to life. We and our co-partners of varied shapes, sizes, colors and needs form adiversified and rich ecosystem of which we are the proud care-takers. So what qualifies us to make us the guardian of this "system of lives" and the master of world. The answer lies in our ability to understand and solve a problem with right kind of solution. So to be concise it is our abundance in IQ and EQ that gives us natural mandate to lead. So we are proved to be an entity of unique consciousness blended with both intelligence and emotion.
Why the temptation?
Consciousness come here in pursuit of only one goal-to live to consume. But,it does not know how to strike a balance between living and consuming . Mesmerized by its own existence it wants to come to terms with itself. So it devises ways to put restraint upon itself which we call "inner-voice", or moral or more coarsely rule or laws, depending upon how it has been devised . If the guardian of the humanity is State we call it a law, if it is some by some Organization we call it rule. And if the restraint has been realized by common enlightenment brought upon us by thinkers or messengers of God ,we call it moral. But, irrespective of the type of guardianship-state ,religion or association , man has needed it in all ages. Primarily because we are in disordered state we need an order to exist. This we have been trying since our inception in this world.
The Root Cause
Now the basic problem is that one single man is in himself so disordered that he doesn't know how to make consumption an enriching experience.By the virtue of instinct he has only known that more you have, safer you will be. And here we are in billions trying to figure out division of resources. So the tug of war has become multitude in dimensions and overwhelming in strength. And here CORRUPTION is born. Those who find themselves at the receiving end of this disordered system take to this forbidden route secretly. Then there are those who do not want to slip into the category of commons after they have carved a niche for themselves by sheer strength of their capability,trying to belie the rule of nature that everything that will rise will fall, avail the profane route to sustain their holdings.
The remedy
Therefore, our complexity of the problem of corruption is our own complexity and the solution lies in internal treatment. We must construct a system which give birth to men who we want to be.In the perfect democracy,let the rule of CORRUPTION,be brought down by the will of satisfaction. After all who is here not human?
