Article:- To what extent is corruption justified?

Nowadays everyone is looking for his comfort. Everyone's aim is to get their work done easily. People are also ready to pay the price for their comfort and ease of work and this is the reason for the birth of corruption. Corruption has become a part of everyone's life nowadays. Everyone has accepted it easily. Many efforts are also being made by the government to stop corruption. Many strict rules have also been made by the government to prevent corruption. The Anti Corruption team is also catching the corrupt employees and officials on receiving complaints. They are also being put in jail with punishment. 

We need to think that why is corruption still not stopping? Unless the public is aware of it, it is not possible to stop corruption. People easily give big money to the officers to do their work. They not only give money to do their work but also provide valuable things.In return, they get their work done by the officers. The government provides fixed salary to each of its employees every month.We should think then why they need to indulge in corruption. Corrupt officers do not leave any opportunity to take bribe. They also charge money for some work from the employees working in their office. Taking bribe for arrier payment has become common. If an employee dies while in service, his family reaches into immense grief but the officials take bribe from the deceased dependent family in the name of job and pension. To what extent is it appropriate to take a bribe in these circumstances?

Let me tell you that only the transaction of money does not come under the category of corruption. If a person does not perform his duty honestly, then his work also comes under the category of corruption. The involvement of the officers in the corruption proves their incompetence. 

We need to improve ourselves. Taking and giving bribe both come under the category of crime. It is our duty to help the government in every possible way to stop corruption. Whatever work we do, do it honestly. It is our sacred duty to maintain the dignity of our position and prestige. If we do not do our work honestly then we are also corrupt. 

I am presenting some examples related to this in front of you. If a bank employee does not transact money to the customer on the pretext of server down, then this lapse of his comes under the category of corruption. If a teacher does not attend the class during school hours, it is also a corruption. If a doctor does not go to his government hospital and sees patients at home by taking fees, then this is also corruption. If an engineer adulterates goods in the greed of money, then this is also corruption. All these things need to be considered. Your little greed can become a threat to the health, education, safety and life of the people. We came into the world empty handed and have to go empty handed. So what is the need to put a question mark on yourself for unnecessary temptation? So today take an oath that you will neither take bribe nor give it to anyone. You may feel some difficulty in this work, but after this you will definitely get immense satisfaction.
