When corruption is a culture to achieve goals !!!

Al-Anbat - Engineer Hashem Nayel Majali

It is the intelligent and reasonable man who takes advantage of opportunities when he can in order to achieve his goals, whether personal , or with national objectives and public benefit worthy of sacrifice and effort. In this case, investment and exploitation of opportunities are legitimate and obligatory and should not be overstated.

The opportunist is the one who is able to catch his prey with all skill, and some of them are caught in one way or another in order to obtain it even if he uses illegal and immoral methods in order to achieve his goals such as bribery or threats.

That is to be wicked in his intelligence and enjoy the flexibility and good game roles to confront the rival and enemies, and falsify the facts in his favor and mislead and deceive others to make things to his advantage to serve his goals and decorate the reality in order to convince others.

The opportunist enjoys an attractive and exciting personality to gain broad powers that make his admirers admire him. He is often abstract from any principle and has no clear and explicit position, but is as clueless as his subordinates may be.

Therefore, opportunism is a human phenomenon that pervades evil souls and appears in the form of a kind of hypocrisy and flattery to achieve gains and privileges. It has many repercussions on the homeland, on society and on the citizen. It is an influential factor and an engine of activity in forming its relations and spreading it with what suits its objectives and interests.

It is a struggle for existence whether it is declared or hidden, and positions for it are dribbling to achieve their desires for it. It is a political and social disease with great negative effects and dangerous deviation in the process of reform and change for the better, or to give opportunities to the most efficient, productive, Which mourns the homeland and society.

The opportunist does not belong to the homeland with sincerity or dedication, but loses national standards instead. We have seen many political and social figures over the years characterized as such and seized opportunities to occupy the highest positions to invest inbevil investments, and that enables them to maintain their position, which had negative repercussions, and we see its impact after years of leaving their posts when the regrets will then serve no purpose , while the national character is brave in his proposal and transparent in what he wants to put and say and does not build his life on the misery of others.

But he sacrifices his happiness in order to achieve goals that satisfy others. He sees happiness in the happiness of others, a moving critic, his weapon is the  truth and transparency to show it to people and according to his study of reality, he does not accept oppression or the defeat of a man.

There is also an opportunistic intellectual and media who works for the benefit of others in order to deceive people with his distorted views of facts and reality, to influence public opinion and social reality, taking advantage of the circumstances, exploiting opportunities and crises in the manner of the rich of war. It is an individual phenomenon concerned with the ethical and moral structure.

It is possible that the opportunists meet in one place, forming a cell and a spider web that will remove anyone who does not agree with them. They are an anti-progressive class working to protect themselves by wearing change, reform and progressive dress.

There are motives moving them and they need a national sense to cleanse the environment and atmosphere surrounding the work of their germs, by revealing their lies and raise senior officials to their direction and reveal the patterns and methods and behavior of their work to be identified.

So that others do not get infected and fancy it as the best way to work and get positions and live and achieve goals.

Then becomes the environment of the great climate of corruption that will affect all classes, and then will pose a danger to ethics and values, principles and behaviors, and corruption becomes the address for the realization of interests and goals and corruption becomes a culture of achieving goals, and positions become coupled with mutual benefit between the employee and the official.
