"Shun evil and do good, seek peace and pursue it" - Psalms 34:15
We live in a world full of corruption. Evil and hatred play a part in our world. Sad, I know.
We have free will to make choices--to do good or bad. Ultimately, the choice is ours.
Fos has been speaking about those who do bad things. It is enlightening and sad, indeed.
But what is even more enlightening is hearing stories about people who choose to do good things and inspire others.
There was a person who was wrongfully imprisoned. Instead of focusing on the suffering he faced, he focused on how he could help others and serve God.
People can become corrupted because of their circumstances, their ego, or because they don't have a higher purpose to guide them.
Corruption has many faces.
Corruption can undoubtedly tempt anyone, but it doesn't have to control us. If your compass is focused on something greater and higher than yourself, you can potentially live a life free from corruption.
Perhaps focusing on helping others, serving God, and doing what is right can help prevent acts of corruption.
In the end, we all have choices to make. The question is: What will we choose?
