Breaking Paradigms Chapter 5 - People Are Corrupted by Money - Really? Read and Take Your Own Conclusions..........
Hello dear Steemians,
In this post I would like to continue the series I have been writing about breaking paradigms. If you have not read the others you can find in the previous posts of my blog.
I would like to write about a paradigm that really is one of the worst to block your financial growth.
I'll call it "The Money Paradigm"
How many times have you heard the phrase? Rich people are not good people because they exploit other people to grow up and are dishonest.
I could mention many more that we have all heard throughout our journey and unconsciously began to hate money and blame it for all the problems in the world.
I can assure you that the problem of the world is not money. The problems of the world are people. I've never seen money being dishonest, aggressive, yelling at someone, betraying someone's trust, etc ... Even with me money never spoke a word ... LOL
When we have this vision about money we will never be able to have it in abundance for a simple reason.
How can you want to be or have something you hate?
This is a very important Mindset for you to change within yourself to see things from another perspective.
I know hundreds of rich and honest people and only the minority of them are dishonest or bad person.
The biggest lesson I would like to leave in this post for you is:
"MONEY DOES NOT CORRUPT PEOPLE, IT CAN ONLY POTENTIALIZE WHAT THEY ALWAYS HAVE BEEN"
What I want to say is that money can only give wings to people and as I said earlier the problem is not money, it's people.
A poor and bad person will always be like that because it's part of the character and it's just a wolf dressed in lambskin and if that person makes money feel powerful and this will amplify the evil that he always had within himself.
There are those people who, when poor, humiliate others and are snobs. These people when they make money become very arrogant, in my country they are called the new rich. They really are unbearable because they only know about the car they bought, clothing brands, etc ... They are the real vomit in person! LOL ..
But an honest and generous person even when poor people make a lot of money this will amplify their goodness and I can guarantee this to you because I have already seen much of both of them on my journey.
There is a saying in my country that I believe has other versions for other cultures but with the same meaning that is:
Give the power to a person for only 1 day and you really will discover the character of that person.
In short, I want to convey to you with this important message is: Do not be a prisoner of the paradigm that money corrupts people because they will always be what they are with a lot or little money.
A Big Hug
hahaha, imagine that money talks to you one day ...
As I mentioned in another post you did about this topic ... money is not bad ... but the love of money if it is bad .... how do you love money? Well, there are people who for money are able to do bad things, do not mind doing bad to others in order to get money, cheat, deceive, etc ... for money, there is bad ... But money does not it is bad. With money you can save lives, you can help others, feed, educate, have fun, eat, celebrate, anyway ... money is not bad.
ah, I forgot to tell you that today I was on steem.chat. It really is the second time I use it ... and I left a message.

Money is not good and not bad - money is money. Love them too is silly.
Money is a tool. The same tool as pliers or a hammer, like a sail from a ship, like wings from an airplane, or a car engine.
Money only provides more opportunities for realizing a person’s potential, but they will not make him kinder or happier. If a person is an asshole, then money will not help him to become a good person; they will only quickly manifest his inner world, making it visible to other people.
Money doesn't necessarily corrupt. Like everything else, it depends on the individual. The corrupt individuals are just more likely to be the ones that make the news and the ones that we remember. People behaving in an honest and decent manner is not considered newsworthy.
Dear @chbartist sir!
We are all part of corruption, deliberately or unknowingly.Corruption is like a link that affects every person in the direct or indirect way with the economy of the country.Corruption is a form of conduct. Corruption is not the reason of the money but the silence accepting of the self.Money goes to the poor, or the rich, that remains money. He himself never says that use me for corruption or experiment for good things. Only our own narrow mindset blames to money .By passing laws, the rules promote bribe to accelerate their work quickly.Whether it is a license to make a license, a password is made, to avoid invoicing, to get a job, by referring man's time, we give our money quickly by giving them money.According to the rules, it takes more time to get the job done. Unwittingly, due to greed or selfishness, we automatically invite it. We wish to be more dependent on the post of merit, outward manipulation, worthlessness, pretension, the mentality of superiority to others, the decline of moral values, the unlimited There are so many facts which proves that person is the source of corruption, not the money.It is a form of paradigm, from which we have to come out.regards
Thank you @certain
Corruption does not begin where the official asks for money. It begins where a person is ready to give the official money.
You are right - corruption, we are prototypes who want quick solutions to their questions. Instead of improving the world by joint efforts, each of us takes care of his own little world, without paying attention to the rest of the world.
I gather ‘Money might not corrupt a human being but may be it brings out true colours of that person’s inner self’.
Very interesting- i had a wrong notion
Excellent my friend
Great @moghul
Reading your article, I don't know how to comment on this, as it is so practical in our day to day life there is no way to say some thing against it. You are a really genius one. Big hug my friend.
Thank you for your kind words
People never corrupt by money or other means , people such as Gandhi , Mandela, Luther King etc. If they want they can earn money but they serve the humanity. It the person integrity,morality and consciousness that how he will react to the circumstances. We all know about the story -cofee ,egg and sugar. If all the three in water coffee melt and form the beautiful aroma, egg turn outside tuff and inside soft and sugar melt down. We all have free will but how he make it up to build ourself it only depend on our self. Which path we choose it depends on our self. And Chbartist it is absolutely turn that suddenly people who become rich or get money any sort of there ego will booze to 10x times. Yes real vomit to humanity.LOL

@chbartist Sir!
your analogy with Money, People and Corruption is almost brutally and reluctantly true! Humility, in a person is the most underrated trait, till today.. there's an old saying, ''Give the man, Power and that shall reveal his true character'',, because it's damn too hard to resist temptations, not give in to the pressure, just acting on your own, !! and yeah... requires a lot of self control..
Exactly
"Money does not corrupt people,it can only potential what they always have been" - This is so apt in coveying the whole message. A nice read
i guess what this post is implying is that money does not change a person. It only magnifies a person's character. A caring individual cannot extend help even if he fells like helping simply because he doesn't have anything. A cruel man will tend to become more cruel when he has accumulated more worldly treasures(money) thinking he needs nobody and that he already has everything.
Corruption started to exist alongside with beraucracy which appeared not far from writing in our society
