Breaking Paradigms Chapter 5 - People Are Corrupted by Money - Really? Read and Take Your Own Conclusions..........

in life •  6 years ago 

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

Thanks chbartist,

@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

When a consensus is reached amongst a group of people, anything can become money. Steem is an intangible digital asset which is valued because a consensus has been reached by the steemians and it has become a medium of exchange. The amount of money one has determines to an extent the level of freedom and control within his grasp.
How can one visualize such as been bad. It can only be said that when you abuse such previlages and use it to the detriment of your fellow human, In such scenarios i know people can percieve money as been evil

Interesting phrase my friend: "MONEY DOES NOT CORRUPT PEOPLE, IT CAN ONLY POTENTIALIZE WHAT THEY ALWAYS HAVE BEEN".

It is true that money, as you express, gives wings to that person, but if inside he is a dishonest person he can always be, since it is difficult to change and more with a lot of money power, however, the problem is the people who do wrong in the world, maybe money can influence a little more.

But it's not the point to touch, in reality, money is a livelihood, but the love of money is what hurts those people, being greedy, dishonest, selfish, maybe you are different from those people and are mature in the sense of personality

I hope to make a mistake one day, in terms of those people who may be that way of loving money more than their family but for now my friend is what I know.

I liked your post. I leave my humble vote of my small account.

I invite you to visit my blog my friend, also sharing interesting content and if you like you can comment and help with a simple vote that would help me a great greeting.

as always apologizes the grammar of the words since I translate it to read and comment on the post

Thank you friend

Many people many minds. Actually Peoples bad mindset is the main problem. In that case money become worthy things if happiness doesn,t come. Our all activities is for being happy. I think to be happy money is not fact but positive mind is essential for being happy.

This is definitely a good one as a person in business, I see a lot of variables when consider what money does to people. I feel that stereotypes are creating when “looking through a different lense” as it is tough to see a person for his/her true self when power and money are involved. Many created boundaries around thenselves regardless of their true personalities.

Sir, this article is very good. You said that when a poor person becomes rich, then he becomes arrogant and starts doing some bad things for money and you also said that he is right, that man is not bad money

@chbartist, In my opinion, whoever thinks that Money corrupted human beings then in my opinion first of all we should ask one question to ourselves and that is, Where this money came from? Answer is, Human beings created it and money don't have any value if we don't hold faith upon it. So, both the creator and destroyer is human so, we should keep the definition of money in our life as just tool of exchange, if we will think as money is life then no matter how much we have, we will feel it's less and in this way greed will born and that's it, the Process Of Corruption starts.

Wishing you an great day and stay blessed. 🙂

el dinero se hizo para tranzar mercancia y comprar conciencia cuando uno es pobre y obtiene dinero facil te corrompes porque puedes comprar poder y el poder es arrogancia codicia y eso te hace malo

You kept my interest in reading. A skillful writer I must say! and I love the line"They are the real vomit in person! LOL .." Funny :p
And yes, I may conclude that people aren't corrupted by money but they behave in the way their character and nature permits to behave!

Thank you!

I always have a desire to make more money and then I will have good condition to help the poor but kind. But not by giving them money completely but helping them find ways to improve their lives better.

It is what we have been taught about money that makes the difference. If we only learn to earn it working and then spend it, we will not get too far, if we only think about saving, the only thing we will do is accumulate money, but we will never have abundance.

But if we look for a way to learn to invest, and we do it, we can multiply money by converting it into a capital.

With this idea that we kept in mind, we had a movie here NAYAK in it a man is made a Chief Minister for 1 day and after that he handles the situation very well then you are absolutely right Is there no doubt sir

If this money comes to a person with borrowed personality, then its conduct will be as good and best as well. But if this money comes in the hands of the wrong person, then his personality will remain wrong, he will be equipped with ego

Money is the root cause of all problems in most cases.Very good and motivating article thanks.

Thank you!

I had same conversation with one of my friend last night. I was persuing him to start some business. As we are students so I was saying him this is the time we can try out new things because we are in study stage. Also we had a talk about business vs job. He seemed to be more baised towards job because of almost similar thought of people you have described here. He was saying other businessmen doesn't let their opponent grow so there is no point in starting a business.

Also I just loved the quote you mentioned in the last about giving power to a person only for one day.

Thank you friend!

Its a common phenomena that people think that all rich people are not good people. They humiliate others who are not rich but this is not true. As you said that money is not the reason for such behaviour. Its the person's own nature and behaviour which make others feel humiliated and money is not the reason anyway. Thanks for the post @chbartist

Thx friend!

@chbartist , "MONEY DOES NOT CORRUPT PEOPLE, IT CAN ONLY POTENTIALIZE WHAT THEY ALWAYS HAVE BEEN"esta frase es verdadera,
During my life I have seen many examples of this, not only money, but also power. Your personality and your values ​​are not defined by having money or not having it. It is a matter of principles and honesty.

Thank you so very much with this post sir, you have nailed it all money is not corrupt people are are. There are those whom are working hard to make this money and when they make it they even become more generous than when they were working to make the money. I have seen some of them even here in steemit some people that rewards us for our post we don’t even know them that’s generosity.

True. Money doesn't corrupt it just lets people show their true faces with no fear of repercussion.

Ohh!! this is a realty good article

I think, people are not corrupt, but their situation ( may be any reason that he can't take decide i.e mentally weak and heartly emotions & others ) and to fulfill his dream in short time to make them greedy,
But one thing should remember, success is a not a short time process , it's long time process , it is a journey , and we should enjoy..

When one allows their accumulation of wealth to impact who they are then we have problems. I know many people who have lots of many who have not allowed it to change their character. Money affords them the opportunity to share with others the wisdom and knowledge they so freely give. It's all about maintaining perspective on your purpose.

yes, my dear friend some time people know mean to importance of relationship i like your thought. nice post

I also think money doesn't bad. Money is only a method to buy things and communicate other people. What make people corrupt is themselve, not money they handle. We need to learn "HOW TO USE AND MANAGE MONEY" not just blaming that money is bad, like a fox wondering grape on the tree.
