If you want to oppose something so strong as a corruption racket, it is obvious. The risks are high. But lok at the risks of not participating.... (Besides being part of corruption is more risk!)
As it is we have reached a stage where many of us have been corrupt in some way or the other, where we have either taken advantage of loopholes in the law or in its implementation...., we have taken advantage of bypassing law when no one was watching.... of ignoring traffic signals, of giving a donation to get a child admitted to school.... of paying a tip to the waiter after having lunch at a restaurant.
The result is we now do not have the moral right to raise our individual voice against corruption. We are afraid of being told "Those who live in glass houses do not throw stones at others' houses".
This is where raising our voice together is important. As a community, we still are not that corrupt. We do not still proudly tell our children that we are corrupt. The risk is that if we do not take personal risks in the safety of a group, we will lose this morality as a community, as a nation. Can we take the risk of losing this collective morality?
