Sands,
I would also like to see less corruption in the country...

However, remember the aftermath of 9/11? There were some who wanted to "fight" for peace? Or be ANTI-terrorism?

I think CWG said don't focus on "fighting corruption" because you end up focusing on the existence of it. It's like - don't focus on "I don't want to be fat". Instead, just focus on the positive like- I want to be thin - or better yet- I am thin.

I remember Neale or someone saying: you cannot "fight for peace" - its contradictory. Fighting is still fighting (whatever it is for).

When people become too passionate being against or anti something, to the extent of "fighting" against it... it may seem like pure semantics only, but it could be that these words imply you still have this "contra" energy that is against or fighting something.

I'm sure these people have good intentions and all. But perhaps they could instead focus their minds on being PRO-integrity, or something like that...
