Why is human society corrupt?

Question from the Internet:

“Is corruption an inevitable social phenomenon in a changing society?”

Corruption is an inevitable social phenomenon of our human nature. We are all born with a 100% self-serving, self-justifying, egocentric and subjective nature.

Knowingly or unknowingly, we all distort how we see reality and others. Knowingly or unknowingly, we all what to control, manipulate and exploit everybody and everything.

And when we are facing a difficult choice of what to do, we inevitably choose what favours our own benefit at the expense of others. This is how we are “programmed” we simply cannot exist and behave in any other way. Even if superficially, there seems to be no self-benefit in whatever we do, it is there behind the scenes.

So it is the egocentric and corrupt human beings who built corrupt societies.

Any change will happen only when we all recognize our true intentions and calculations behind everything we do and we also develop a bitter and intolerable distaste against our inherent inner software. Then we can develop an irrepressible and motivating need and desire to change and further develop ourselves.

And when at least a critical minority of people start willingly and purposefully changing themselves and how they relate to others, then we will start changing our societies as well.
