Honest people do exist!

Reported on March 6, 2011 from Mysore , Karnataka  ι Report #33192

Those days i used to live in Mysore.i am talking of nineties.i had learnt driving a scooter.went to RTO office for the Learner's license.faced no problem gave the computer test as per rules.next went for the drivers license and gave the test computer test and driving test as per rules.did not face any problem.i was told by colleaguesand various other people that one needs to bribe to get a license from the authorities concerned.however,my experience was otherwise.nobody asked me for a bribe at any point of time.the point is that i had DONE THOROUGH preparations for both my theory and practicals in driving sincerely.also,had told myself that if i am failed by the authorities,will prepare again but not pay to get a license.i had got my license in the normal course and never had to pay a bribe for it.i feel that nobody is bad! it depends upon a GIVEN INDIVIDUAL TO AN EXTENT TO ELICIT THE GOODNESS IN THE OTHER PERSON.
i STRONGLY feel that the people who pay bribes most times are those who want a quick solution to their issue/problem and are not prepared to undergo the grind!and,this is judged by the taker!they somehow sense that this person will yield!and,they demand bribes.my feeling is that more than the taker,it is GIVER who should be punished!my point is that it is the GIVER who is mainly responsible for CORRUPTING THE SYSTEM!GIVERS of bribes have spoilt the system in my opinion.IT IS THE GIVERS WHO HAVE MADE THE TAKERS SELFISH AND INCREASED THE GREED TO DO THEIR NORMAL DUTIES ONLY WHEN THEY ARE OFFERED MONEY.IN THE PROCESS,IF I DO NOT PAY BRIBE THERE WILL BE ANOTHER PERSON TO PAY IT BECAUSE THEY WANT QUICK FIX SOLUTIONS.AND,THIS THE TAKER OF BRIBES KNOWS!MY CONTENTION IS TARGET THE GIVERS PRIMARILY AND PENALISE THEM.UNLESS GIVERS ARE ALSO PENALISED,THE SYSTEM WILL NOT IMPROVE,FRIENDS!THIS IS MY STRONG BELIEF.THE NET RESULT OF YEARS OF THIS GIVING BY PEOPLE HAS MADE THE SYSTEM CORRUPT AND PRODUCED A ********** OF CORRUPT OFFICIALS IN THE **********! THE UNFORTUNATE PART OF ALL THIS ARE ALL OF US PEOPLE WHO NOW SUFFER! TAKERS HAVE BECOME SO USED TO DOING THEIR DUTIES IN AN OFFICE BY ASKING FOR MONEY SHAMELESSLY IN THE NAME OF REACHING THE MONEY TO THE TOPMOST PERSON IN THE SYSTEM! HOW DOES ONE KNOW THAT THE TOPMOST PERSON IS INDEED TAKING THE *******
