If you can't change 'em, would you join 'em?

Someone came back and laid his back disappointedly on the sofa and grumbled,  "Just should have bribed like the rest and got through the driving test like the rest. Trying to follow the righteous path, now I have to sit for the exams again!"

Then he went on to mentally count the number of driving students taking the test that day and the amount of ill gotten gains that the almighty testers would be taking home to serve their loved ones, leaving the guilt aspect to be dealt with another day. And the dirty money would have accumulated to gargantuan proportions. 

There would not come a day where a beacon of light would shine upon them to stop this practice. By then, they would have got both their feet way too deep into the muddy world of corruption. They would have committed themselves and their dependants into many ventures that their needs just keep on increasing. Catch 22 situation, damn if you do and damn of you don't.  

Another instance at another place....

Life ain't fair, deal with it!

There are sweat shop wage earners who are coarsed to work extra hours for the sake of emergencies that keep on appearing for no particular reason. Workers have nothing to say but follow as they had absentmindedly or rather desperately signed off their soul to the establishment. The agreement testominially illustrates that their services would be called upon as and when deemed fit. Forget about incentives or crumbs, you pick the pittens that the power that be decides fit for you. What? It is not fair? Don't worry, there many waiting in line just to continue where you stop when you leave...

What, you as the third person, the bystander do? To leave it at status quo as it does not affect you directly? Or be a David and bring down Goliath and the whole stinking system? Not everybody can be Gandhi or Mandela who would set aside their worldly duties to sacrifice their life for others. Most people are mere mortals. They just go with the flow and prefer not to rock the boat...
