Dirty pictures are coming up. These people are dirty, so are their pictures. Glitters of gold or diamond, or crystal covered hotels could not cover up their ugly faces. These people are now unmasked, so are their black money.
A doctoral student in psychology at the University of California, Berkeley, claimed that having more money typically leads to more aggressive, selfish and “morally reprehensible” behaviour.
Do we agree on the findings of the research conducted by the Berkley student? How does it actually lead the rich to the grubby road of corruption? The centrality of corruption in our country lies in the sphere of politics, the ones who allow the corruption and empower the evils of our society who became rich and doesn’t care anymore about whether their sons committed a heinous crime to parents taking it positively about the question leaks regularly and to students that they’ll pass exams getting the Q-paper early in hands.
These are not just obscure views, these are realities which now determine the fates of many by affecting many more. The trails of the bad impact stretch to the farthest of our thoughts. It goes beyond our imagination. These are the common scenes where the root to the moral and ethical collapse has shaped. And the end result- conscience has doomed before the Titanic sank on its maiden voyage.
Forget thinking about the climate change over the environment and how livelihoods of people would be affected, think the grave and demonic power of money where million others will be caged, although apparently they would look free. The rich sometimes how we define as ‘filthy’ has turned the table of morality upside down and took all the power in their back-pocket and pushed the good citizens right back to the walls. It starts and builds steadily in the state infrastructure. The more the corruption, the more the decay. And, the streams flow through the local community, administration and goes across the country- to the most powerful people, to the musclemen, to all the people who have become rich in the name of power, connection, nepotism and of course getting right on the stairway to heaven as they think.
In the game of corruption, anyone can become rich and to earn that no one has to respect any rule or order, or fear the laws that a country has set for the bad people. That is how the ‘sudden’ riches have forgotten how to stay in the limits, because the illegal wealth made them blind. They don’t care as money and money is the last and final saviour.
To fix this state, the system where we abode has to be cleansed from top to bottom. The state should challenge its own people first and the ones who have become aggressively confident that money will make their children good students, professional doctors, efficient bankers, media entrepreneur, a successful businessperson- every such actions and boastful attitudes need to be proved wrong.
Will we take a lesson from the Banani rape incident? Will we ensure justice so that we can send a message to the evils?
