in our society, sometimes you have to realize your goal or gain wealth by unscrupulous means. maybe you don't like to do so, but if you don't do, others will. it's so unfair. at that time, will you abandon your life priciples?will you send money to "important person"? it's really a dilema.

Yes....I have bribed.....Here in India most of the systems are corrupted......The politicians are corrupted.....The Government is corrupted.......It is very difficult to move papers in the Govt. departments without bribing......Here in India one of the most corrupted Department is the Central Excise Department......The whole Department is corrupted like cancer.......there is no cure for this..... Anyway the answer to the question is yes......In such a society we have to keep our principles and values in safe custody.......I bribed to so many departments But I think in China is not that corrupted .......can you clarify

Yes there are some people who get to the top using unscrupulous means. I once read in a book that the best instruments to play are people, you just pull their strings and they give you the music you want. I have seen people bribe people, I have been bribed before and yes, I have bribed people before and let me tell you, it didnt feel good. Every minute, people are paid, we receive cash, we receive offers. But what matters is the intention. Why was it made and how you would act towards it.

This world that we share today is full of bribes. Employers bribe employees with a paycheck to get them to work. They don't call it a bribe and many others may not but it is.
