Corruption

Today is the 31st of August; Merdeka...
What to do on this splendid, sunny day?
Wake up late in the afternoon, do 2 weeks worth of laundry, read, smile, dream...
Back to reality-land, this week is final exam week... very exciting week *yawn*

Today is Merdeka day, which brings us to the aforementioned topic; what are the causes of corruption?

What are actually the causes of corruption? Have you ever wondered? We always blame the ones in power of committing great sin towards the public, unjust, selfish, etc.
But have we ever stopped and pondered about the very mechanism which leads to the plague? The root? The core?

Well, based on my Islamic Studies notes, the causes of corruption are blindly following human caprice in deciding between right and wrong, abusing man's position of trust, turning away from divine guidance or losing vision of being vicegerents on Earth, and moral deviation and hypocrisy.

Not to point and blame certain bodies or individuals, this is just a general observation, sort of a bird's eye view of what's going on. Besides, I'm studying for my exams here, so kill me, or give me some credit for extra effort.

To those concerned, or who think they are of concern, good luck for the 2nd Trimester Finals...;
