To quote Hamlet, "Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune (read corrupt bureaucrats),Or to take arms against a sea of troubles, And by opposing end them?"
That question has bothered me for a long time.
Is it enough that I don't myself engage in acts of corruption, that I do my duty faithfully and diligently, to the best of my ability, keeping always the interest of the people in mind?
Is it enough that I don't , in any manner whatsoever, promote the cause of colleagues I know or suspect to be corrupt?
Is it enough that I act with utmost caution on directions given by a senior colleague whose integrity is suspect?
Is it enough that in whatever way I can, I encourage and facilitate efficiency and integrity among those whose work I direct?
I suspect it isn't. That is the reason, perhaps, that when I look back on what I have achieved in the past ten years or so, there is a lingering sense of dissatisfaction.So much more could have been done.
Take arms against a sea of troubles? How? I am searching for answers.
Having read this I believed it was really informative. I appreciate you finding the time and effort to put this informative article together.
