Corruption

Another very readily acceptable aspect of greed is in the form of corruption. This venomous snake is worldwide long with extremely divergently branching tongues that's drops venoms in almost all sections, departments and compartments of life, society and politics. Who doesn't know what corruption is? Corruption is when a high profile beaurocrate accepts money for a chore that’s not legitimate letting the unworthy into the system and dragging the worthy out of it. This not leads to frustration in the common hard working man but instead misleads the systems of a community or a country that form the very basic foundations of social setup.

Corruption is when the traders of a society sell their below quality products as high end things out of greed for more and more profit without caring about the marring their reputation. This sets up new standards for accumulating riches caring less for quality or standards.

Corruption is also when societies who claim to help the poor and needy fraudulently digest all money or any other collectables themselves without any guilt of the thousands and thousands of hungry mouths that are waiting and remain waiting. What a pity. The donors think their donations are in the right hands whereas the recipients are kept waiting for food and clothing as promised. Both the groups kept in the dark by the corrupt participants. Yes greed is the only sin that drags a person to a level to forcefully snatch another man’s right of mere survival. What an evil sin?

Corruption and politics have become inseparable. Most of the political figures (usually in the less developed countries) are either corrupt themselves or turn a blind eye to corruption making holes in the political system. Even the judicial system in many regions of the world is highly influenced by corruption. The end result is obvious, a country with weak political and judicial systems is like incapacitated prey in front of the hunter.  

Corruption is not only involves money but also involves the aspects of our everyday life. Let me mention her corruption of our hearts. Maligning people and creating rifts between them by our everyday harmful habit of gossiping has dug deep in our hearts. Before we know it we actually insulted, degraded and deprived someone of his self respect regardless of the fact that he be devoid of all these vices in the first place. We pretend to be ignorant of the consequences this can generate. How cruel are human beings?

Corruption not only affects the heart but also the souls. Had it not been the case then how can people on one side of the planet can have the fanciest food to eat and not only the their plates are full but even the trash can are full of leftovers, where else not far from is a group of  physically and mentally similar or maybe even better human beings who do not even have a drop of clean water to drink. How cruel are we?

We have lost so much to greed. So much that we did not realize when the evolution of man to monster happened. Just one deadly virus of greed has culminated into a spectrum of envy, backbiting, cruelty and inhumanity.
