Resentment is the chief source of validation for your grief in life. There's nothing like deciding that others are doing their job dishonestly to ease your conscience. At every dinner table, under every political debate , there are people discussing corruption and condemning the corrupt people. I want to call attention to the fact that not everyone has to rob the country of millions of pounds for it to count as a corruption. Everyone will do corruption in his sphere of influence. A clerk who accepts bribes cannot embezzle at the level of a prime minister , a doctor who doesn't tend to his patients , the government officers who reach their work place late are all doing corruption at some level. My corruption as a doctor would be to be neglectful of my patients' well being , it would be me arriving late and leaving sooner , taking breaks that compromise the patient care, recommending patients to my private practice when they seek my services in government set up. As a professor and in charge of ward, my corruption will be not to try and set the affairs of the ward right , to come each day for a quick round and a cup of tea and leave for things i am held accountable for , as a government officer my corruption is also making the people wait , people who come from all over the country to get something done , my corruption is to allow this loss of efficiency. If I can manage100 patients in 6 hours, and I see 80 in 4 hours , it is my corruption. If I can look over 8 affairs in 8 hours instead of 6 in 6 , specially in a country where so much work needs to be done , it's my corruption as a government officer.
. To not do my duty properly, to find excuses , to put my rights first before all my responsibilities and becoming blind to all these exercises , it's my corruption. This is the reason I have begun to hate discussion on politics because they are stale and they reek of hypocrisy.  People's lack of ability for self analysis stops me dead in my tracks. All around me are people content with blaming others for all of their shortcomings while neglecting their own role ( or lack thereof ) in the bigger picture
