Corruption

What is the biggest thing in this world that corrupts people? Is it money? Some people think that money corrupts anyone and everyone but I think it depends on the person. People choose how to live their lives. Either they run it themselves or they let others lead them. You are either a follower or a leader in this world most would say. I think that you must be a mix of both. A good leader is also a good follower. You must listen to yourself but also be able to listen to others. The kind of people that are good leaders and make decisions based on their own personal feelings and the information gathered by others will not be easily moved by money. They will be able to notice if they start to become greedy and will put a stop to it. Well rounded individuals will not be easily persuaded by greed and earthly things.
People who are easily moved by others and by other things of the world will fall into the corruption of money. The people who are selfish or just want things in this world will try hard to get money but from my experience they will most likely lose light of what is really important such as family, friends, education, and even their own personal character. I understand that money is a necessity in this life but there are people in this world who put money and the high life before all of the important things and live a life that is more miserable than it should be. There are people in this world that make happiness and family their focal point instead of money and they are some of the happiest people in this world. The people that only focus on money are mean and cruel. They are that kind of people who will push others down to win. Those kinds of people are not usually happy. Focusing on becoming a good and well rounded person makes life a lot happier and you can still make enough money.
