I was reading a very interesting article recently.
It stated that when the ancient Chinese people built the Great Wall of China, they thought they would be safe from attackers and foreign invasion and yet they found themselves under attack, three times within the first 100 years. These attackers had not dug tunnels or destroyed any part of the Great Wall. They just bribed the guards.
So it is not walls, bridges and infrastructure but character that keeps a nation strong and safe.
I feel that all those countries that are underdeveloped, hungry and poor are in this pathetic state because of traitors in their midst.
Their politicians are traitors because they have no interest in the well being of the people. They are only occupied with their own self interest and foreign accounts.
The construction contractors are traitors because they build weak bridges and roads which collapse at first sign of rain and earthquake.
The judiciary, the lawyers and the policemen are traitors because the rich and influential are allowed to go free while the poor never gets justice. Drugs, incidents of rape, prostitution and crime flourish in our midst because they choose to look the other way.
The condition in government hospitals, schools and colleges is pathetic while the private practices run by same professionals are in great condition because they value money over integrity.
The press and media are traitors because instead of highlighting national issues and discussing solutions by assembling intellectual panels, we have WWE type programs where people go for each other’s throats and this is good for channel rating.
The government officials that allow the sale of substandard food products or turn a blind eye to illegal factories being built right under their nose till it collapses killing hundreds of workers are traitors because it is in their power to stop the rot.
Nepotism, greed, bribery and corruption are like termites that make the foundations of a country hollow and this all because of traitors in our midst.

ah.....The position is aptly applicable to almost all countries in the world including India as it is my concern being an Indian. Totally worst...I do not get words. Better I do not comment on the subject more and it will be right and good for my health.
Otherwise, where from the political leaders of the world get so much of money in their foreign accounts. It is against which the Panama Papers worked on . If the names of leaders and other rich people of U.S have not found their place in the leaked out list it does not mean that they are pious and sacred people on the Earth.
I really wonder how the two candidates in the U.S Presidential elections are assuring people of good roads, unemployment, health provisions, and assurances on the women's' problem made me think that the U.S is not as developed yet as they projected themselves to the world.
There are many people who want power just to have it. They are inferior people. They have no morality no real interest. They want what they can get.
I agree. In most nations where the citizens are suffering, it's not the result of an attack from the outside, but corruption from the inside. The weakening from within is what makes the nation vulnerable to an outside enemy attack. It happens over and over. But folks don't learn the lesson and/or ignore and talk themselves into believing “That will never ever happen to us!” But it happens!
@Dawnwriter Traitors are everywhere even in our day to day life. You have aptly stated about the fact that strong walls do not protect but loyal workers do.
