CORRUPTION

CORRUPTION

CORRUPTION - The term which should have been eroded long back, even without knowing glimpse of its existence, has become a fashionable term of the era, with its roots - strong and wide spread, finding firm grip deep in the history posing threat to mankind more than a century thereby protruding into the future making it dark as well.

Though there seems to be plentiful of measures to curb this menace out of the mind of people and few are overwhelmingly involved in the process of throwing out this evil term, the results and remedies are not as flourishing as intended to be.

The prime reason which hurdles, is the political supremacy of those whose are explicitly in want of power along with riches. Gone are the days when we used the definition 'Democracy means government of the people, for the people and by the people'. The exact present is in the clutches of plutocrats.

"Power does not corrupt men;fools, however, if they get into a position of power, corrupt power" is George Bernard Shaw's view.

Yet this cannot be the only reason for such an enormous rotten state prevailing today. Only when analyzing from inside out, the genuine truth could be hit, as put forth by Eric Hoffer,

"It has often been said that power corrupts. But it is perhaps equally important to realize that weakness too corrupts. Power corrupts the few while weakness corrupts the many. Hatred, malice, rudeness, intolerance and suspicion are the faults of weakness. The resentment of the weak does not spring from any injustice done to them but from their sense of inadequacy and impotence."

The reason behind all this destruction and devastation does not lie with someone else or somewhere around but within everyone and everywhere around.More than caste, creed or religion the slow poison that is creating diversification among the people is 'money'. Now the cold war is between 'haves' and 'have nots' in all sector.

People have been brainwashed to be slaves in their way of living but decently, making themselves lost for the smell of money.The rational thinking of people is the only entity to avoid even a pin hole of adverse effect but the case here is completely reverse creating large pit falls for themselves.

This is not in any sense an easy task to be done just like that, unless and until, each and everyone is unconditionally willing to abide by the simple rule - surrendering ourselves against corruption, thus putting a full stop to the long running catastrophic disaster and continuing with a comma for the progression of human race globally! .
