Every mistake we make should have a feedback in the form of a punishment. We humans learn and adapt from these reactions. If an activity makes us happy, we try to follow it. On the other hand, if any our action causes displeasure either physically or mentally, we try to avoid it immediately. These are natural responses in humans.
Its been almost a year since we started the anti-corruption mission. Most of you might be closely observing your activities contributing to corruption. The next phase is to react to our evil activities. For every evil act, take a punishment. I am not suggesting you to surrender to the police. Identify a daily activity of yours that you are very fond of. For instance, I am a gourmand. I can not avoid a meal. So when ever, I make a mistake and contribute to corruption, I fast the following day. Its quite difficult for me to take up this punishment. But I practice this because the next time when I try to make a mistake, I know that a self punishment is waiting for me.
It worked well with me. I still remember my feelings when I fasted the first time. When I started, I had mixed feeling. In the first place, I didn't want to do it. Then I thought, Why am I doing all this and ruining my health? I had several such thoughts. But I was determined and successfully completed the fast. After the fast, I was totally a different person. I was quite happy. I don't even know if its happiness but I had a very nice feeling. The fact that I tried to be honest and contributed for the betterment of the society, made be feel so happy. I was quite excited to realize that I adhered to some principles and even practiced them. My blood pumped quite fast and what not....Today, trying to analyze that incident; I know that I haven't done anything that day. But truly speaking, it was that good feeling which let me further. The special feeling, I experienced that day gave me the motivation to fight against anti-corruption from my side. There are many good things I learnt on that day.
The idea might seem silly. But guys give it a try. I promise you will definitely enjoy it. Make your first move….lets stop contributing to corruption…
