Why people commit corruption

Why people commit corruption

From Kompas

It makes us wonder why some people with established status,
sufficient wealth and savings as well as a luxury living standard
have become perpetrators of corruption syndicates.

What surprises us even more is the fact that those involved in
embezzlement are mostly in their advanced age, with a lot of
grandchildren. This reflects how greedy they are, while they
should show repentance and get closer to God for a peaceful life.

In fact, when they die they have no way of carrying wealth to
their graves. As they only need to pay funeral costs and other
related expenses, do they really have to commit corruption for
this purpose? Anything that leads to excess is negative.

It is tragic to see parents or grandparents being talked about
in public for their notoriety rather than their merit. Such
people no longer have prestige and cannot serve as models any
more. They have lost their personality and they are just an
an embarrassment.

Everybody wants to live a decent and even abundant life, which
is very human. But this should be achieved by honest means
without harming public interests. Now, how can they enjoy life in
prison while their family members are in luxury? It is noble to
lead a moderate life, as satisfaction has no limits.
