How to Test Your Own Corruption: An Easy Way To Assess Yourself

This post highlights everyday habits that can reflect potential corrupt tendencies within us. It urges self-reflection and encourages us to be people of integrity, making better choices in our personal and social lives.

1. Sugar in Tea: If you add more sugar in tea at a hotel than you usually do at home, there’s a higher chance that you may have corrupt tendencies because you believe in consuming others than to spend from your pocket.

2. Public Restroom Usage: If you use more water in a public restroom and don't keep it clean than you do at home, it means there’s a hidden thief in you, waiting for the right opportunity to steal.

3. Overloading Your Plate: If you take more food on your plate than you can eat while attending any ceremony or event, just because someone else is paying the bill, it shows you are naturally greedy.

4. Breaking the Queue: If you often try to cut in line, it’s likely that if given a position of power, you would abuse it for personal gain.

5. Breaking Traffic Rules: If you try to squeeze into a traffic jam by breaking the line, it indicates that if ever put in charge of public funds, you might misuse them since you dislike following rules.

6. Diverting Wastewater: If instead of managing your own wastewater, you direct it towards your neighbour's house, it shows you lack social manners and respect for others.

7. Wasting Electricity: If you don’t have the habit of turning off extra lights at home or the office, you may be someone who would waste national resources if given the chance.

8. Playing Games on Devices: If you spend your time excessively in playing games on your computer or phone, it reflects laziness, and you are likely to waste your life on trivial activities.

9. Procrastination in Studies: If you only prepare for exams only when they are right around the corner, you are not just dishonest and lazy but also harming your future, your parents, society, and your nation. This shows you are not trust-worthy.

10. Questioning This Post: If you’re wondering why this post is even necessary, it shows you are dishonest and would easily create problems in society for your own gain.

Let’s strive to be people of character rather than just part of the crowd whenever we get the chance. Life is a gift meant for doing good deeds. Let’s not corrupt it. Thank you!
