Power of Corruption (#9)

Corruption is something that we as the human race will always experience. The question arises though, will someone be smart enough to use corruption to destroy everything? Will someone stand up and rise against the corruptible power? Will their be balance?

First I must say; corruption is neither "good" or "bad". It stands for itself, only thinking of itself, destroying itself. It can affect either "good" or "bad". Imagine a virus that once affected a specimen, the specimen will slowly be overtaken by the virus till, the specimen itself is corruption. That corrupted individual will then try to infect another.

Depending on the next victim, if the victim is understanding and an enlightened individual he/she can withstand corruption. However for this to happen he/she must first understand what corruption is, have seen it used before by someone against another, and have it used against them. Once then. The individual must then always then avoid becoming corrupted themselves.

How? Simple. Question things. Be observative. Question the things you observe. Why did your boss say her wife just got a Lexus? He sounds like he's trying to show off. Why would he do that? Maybe because he wants power and attention? (doesn't he already have that?) You may never the true answer, but you can find paths that can become open and be a more enlightened individual. By questioning things you have the potential to become un-corruptible. It doesn't mean that you still cant corrupt. It just means you'll understand what corruptiblity is.

The next step to avoid corruption. Remember a time when someone used you or made you feel stupid around your friends. Corruption happens a lot in high school in your younger years. Many overcome it because of the amount of corruption they face. But some never learn right? Well that's what life outputs for you. Just remember a time when someone was really dishonest to you about something you cared for. And then they backstabbed you. That's corruption.

Corruption is basically the act of being dishonest and manipulative to get your way and be individualistic about anything. Only caring for you. Nothing else. That can destroy you. Not only can it destroy you, but everything else it infects too, it will do the same. Corruption stands and thinks for itself and in essence destroy itself because there's nothing else there but itself.

From what I know. Corruption cannot be defeated. Just as any other action or idea. However corruption can be contained such as anything else. It however requires someone to be on the other side of the spectrum, trying to contain and exploit it.

That means YOU people. I, as an individual can do something. But obviously not enough to contain corruption. I can however show you that corruption can be contained and that's enough to spark help from ordinary people like you reading my blog.
