      Greed is cause of corruption

      With great admiration and belief in the columns of your newspaper, I seek to bring to your kind notice that corruption is something that happened worldwide. It is one of the most serious problems in the world.

      Day by day corruption increased and it was caused due to the greed of money. If a person has money he still wants money. Not everyone is satisfied with what they get. They want more and more for their own benefit. They will never think about others and this will bring suffering to the poor who just work in the day and eat at night.

      Rich and educated people who are in power will always live a better life and with that if the poor and ignorant ask for help they will look forward for some pennies and if they do not they will keep on waiting. As days pass by, corruption is increasing very fast.

      For example during the election times, three months before the election everything will be in order such as water supply, repair of the roads, electricity etc and after the election everything started to become worse because the elected already got what they want, power.

      In the shop some shopkeepers sell the product at a high price just to gain a lot of profits and this really affects the poor people. Whatever we do, wherever we go we face a lot of problems.

      Money, Money, Money is the biggest challenge to the life of every individual. Whether true or false, the allegations made by Dr. Mukul Sangma against Chief Minister Conrad K. Sangma on the drug trafficking issue is worrisome

      What should we do to solve this problem? Only if together we work as a group and equally treat each other and also be satisfied with what we earn so that it will make our society, our country better rather than wait for someone to come help and solve this problem for us.
