Corruption is worse than prostitution. The latter might endanger the morals of the individual, the former invariably endangers the morals of the entire country.
Karl Kraus
How many times have we had that little voice telling us, “Is just a lil small piece and he/she gon help me out. In this way, I wouldn’t have to waste a lot of time.”
Are our dignity and the liberty of others, preserved by such decisions or actions? Too often we are extremely critical of people in power in the face of corrupt practices, and rightfully so. However, we fail to examine ourselves as ordinary citizens and consider how we are contributing to the very problem we rant about.
How many of us stop to think that the little acts of buying a lunch, a $500 phone card or taking a chocolate bar for a public official will get us unfair advantage versus people who do not, or cannot afford to, engage in such a practice?
