What corrupts families more? Money or Revenge?

What do you think is root of corruption? Money or Revenge? Do think $$$ changes the “price” on peoples brains so to speak and makes them see you as a price tag instead of a real person? Or do think revenge would be the root of corruption? Do think “getting even with someone” or “getting someone back for a crime.” is what causes corruption?

Just trying to get a better idea on why corruption changes so many people?

 

Money and Revenge, but add power then you have a real evil. Power rather it be a cop, teacher, boss, or even worse a politician.

 

Families have a real problem over money. Money and/or the value of possessions. Here are some examples of family breakdown over money:

• Just let one member come into a tidy sum and the relatives ooze out from the woodwork. They want their share of which they are not entitled too.
• A loan to a relative must be considered a gift. It will in most cases not be paid back.
• The death of a parent has caused many an argument over who gets what. In the end dividing the family forever.
• Siblings are despised by their kind if they make great financial investments and gain wealth. Shouldn't they share their fortune?
• Sibling rivalry is often borne from discrepancies in wealth and social status gained.

There are more examples but I think you get the picture. Sure revenge comes into play but not as often as splits over money. Especially over the estate left behind. I remember when my grandfather passed. The division of the siblings because of how the estate property was handed down was never reconciled. One sibling never contacted the others ever again. When that sibling passed decades later it was a surprise to the next of kin, the last remaining sibling, when informed. All over money and property that, how divided, was not accepted.
