The citizens that are from corrupt countries with bad governance is that, it seems have been a daily thing for them and they have been used to it. If they are not going to do something to fight that for, they'll forever stuck on it or else fly to another better country while leaving that corrupt country. That's the sad truth that the voice of the little citizens aren't heard while the corrupt officials enjoying their stay in power with the money that they can steal. A government with a strong political will can endure all the hardship that they're facing economically and at the same time, have the will to eradicate corruption that stops them from progressing.

People always blame their government for corruption, but they didn't even realize if they're also a corrupter!

Example arrive late, it's a corruption in time.

It's an attitude and you can say that it's also corruption but nothing is corrupted from other people. It's only the one person that loses his own time.

You help your friend to sell his product for $80, but you sold it for $85 because you can find a customer who willing to pay that, then you take the $5 and give the $80 to your friends. It's also a corruption because you're not honest with the price you sold.

This is not corruption, IMHO this is honest living. $5 commission, I don't think that's a corruption in there. As long as you and the actual seller have agreed that you'll get a small commission on the sale, that's fine. This is happening in all of the trades and selling of everything. There's always the mark up that everyone does. The corruption in the government is using people's money for something else or pocketing them to steal.
