No compromise for corruptors

Corruption means committing a sin against a great number of people. It is, to some extent, more evil and wicked than an isolated sin because this crime depends on a network of conspirators that includes community figures, officials, government authorities and other abettors who receive "rewards". This adds to the crime of corruptors for multiplying the sin.

Those who enjoy such rewards or facilities or whatever aid from corruptors -- who may be officials, authorities, businessmen or political parties -- will actually defend the evil practice.

I would like to appeal that no one should protect corruptors, even if they are close friends or loved ones.

All mankind should be particularly wary and on one's guard at all times in this life, because the devil is always trying to tempt people through various ways and means to lure them into compromising with corruptors, wickedness and evil power.

Anyway, look before you leap, as we are so often warned.
