Q. It’s International Anti-Corruption Day today. Does the statement of this fact make you laugh, smirk, sad, cry?
A. The choice is yours, but usually I don’t like crying on macro issues. So long I am not corrupt myself and not a victim of any corruption, why should I feel sad?! Anyway 100% of humanity isn’t corrupt. So a minority report can’t dislodge my stoic nature. A special day is supposed to rouse consciousness about the ill-effects of corruption on humanity/ society in general. Instead of trying change the whole world, we can take a pledge to remain committed to remaining perpetually non-corrupt, literally and morally, instead of wondering whether to laugh, smirk, sad or cry.
