Fair. I was referring to how corruption most probably "originates" in a system that is theoretically free of corruption. I suspect that you are absolutely correct that the perception of victimhood is the trigger which compels individuals to feel morally justified in violating moral systems. My intuition is that once the moral foundations of an institution have been corrupted, then the corruption tends to spread like a disease until the entire system collapses. The question that interests me is: How do we build a system which is resilient to corruption?
