There is a lot of talk about corruption in society.
Tell me how a society can be corruption free?
The social paradigms in which we live are:
profit and competition.
Such paradims can never give
a corruption free society.
If there is no competition,
individuals do not grow.
If there is no profit,
corporates do not grow.
If people do not grow,
who will lead?
If there are no leaders,
there will be chaos in society.
And why anybody will take the pains to lead,
if he has no incentive!
Not everybody can be
a Tagore, a Vivekanand,
an Aurobindo or a Jagdish Bose!
Not too many laws
will emancipate us.
Emancipation can come
only from within.
Sharing, fraternity, co-existence,
raising the downtrodden,
less opulence,
less plundering of natural resources,
these only can give less corruption.
