Spirituality in the fight
One of the participants of this forum, a former collegue at the Inspectorate of Government and a friend has raised a very interesting point in our fight aganist corruption. He suggests that the start of fighting wrong is realising that wrong is evil and when we learn to hate evil we are on the straight and narrow and heading towards the bright light at the end of the tunnel, a corruption free environment. This reminds me of the times when we were growing up and were taught right from wrong by parents, church leaders and elders in the community. It is these teachings that have raised honourable citizens. I would like to hear more from your thoughts on the role of spirituality in the fight aganist wrong in the community and in this case the fight aganist corruption.

Hi Sylvia,
I don't believe in right or wrong because that is a judgement and it is very subjective. Sometimes I do feel like there is evil forces operating in the world. I heard a woman talking on the radio yesterday about the sex slave trade she said the mafia involved are human beings who are making choices. I try to view things in terms of what serves humanity and what doesn't. Athough corruption occurs in the context of poverty the people who are corrupt are choosing to be that way because they have the power to make that choice. So I guess the people have to take the power away when it is not serving them. Easier said than done. It helps to have people like you leading the way!
