1000 Flowers for the Planet - #219 Fight Corruption
This is the one that brings us down
every time – corruption. Sadly, it’s everywhere – it’s in the worst economies
and the best economies, the most developed countries and the least developed
countries. It’s in police forces, armies, politics, business, and even
environmental groups. It’s also in patchwork group committees, parents and
citizens clubs at the local school, car enthusiast clubs, genealogy groups,
children’s clubs and dance clubs. It covers all areas of our lives, including
defence, education, sport, climate change, private enterprise, health and
government. You name it, it’s everywhere. And it undoes everything good that we
do. It is created by selfish, self-serving individuals who only want power and
money. It forces people struggling with poverty to resort to it. It tempts
people of all races and creeds. And it has probably always been a part of human
activity since the beginning of time.
Yet if we are to see our way forward,
if we are to reverse the damage we’ve done by this planet in overusing
resources, polluting it in every way possible and having no regard for how
future generations will live, then we MUST fight corruption. If we can’t
eradicate it, then we must minimise it. But it needs solid action from all
quarters, a united front and a desire to function for the good of everyone and
everything on this earth. I’ve made my start by speaking up today through this
art project. Make your start today too.
