Come april and may, you see a traffic police car on almost every other turn. A similar scene is visible in the peak festive seasons. Any explanation as to why, simple to earn some ‘extra’ money for the police men’s own pockets. In other words, they’re paving a path for ‘quick money’ or ‘easy money’.
I believe, Corruption ,more than being a phenomenon, is a habit. A habit to get everything done easily. A habit to avoid hardwork.
Its easy to talk about the big corruption scams and to abuse those who get caught, but isn’t it that every crime is a skill till you get caught. If we look around, we’ll hardly find a person who’s not corrupt. But no one wants to correct themselves as it’s so much easier to blame someone else. Everyone wants corruption out of there homes, but no one wants to get their hands dirty by cleaning the mess.
Let’s take an example, standing in the licence office line we’ll crib about the guy who came with an official and got his job done in seconds, but next time we ourselves will come prepared with a few hundred bucks extra in our pocket. And if asked, the simple answer will be-‘the system is faulty’.
More than kicking corruption out, what we need right now is a perspective. A perspective where we learn to take the blame. as this perspective is the only rehabilitation technique to fight this ‘unbreakable habit’. Its true that world doesn’t change with a single person’s changing himself, but everyone doing a little bit will be more than sufficient. After all ‘little drops make an ocean‘
