I think giving a bribe will save some time for a task. Let's say this task is going to take X amount of time because it's a tedious, long, maybe difficult process, Just skip steps. Bribe cut the time in half. So, is it a good thing to give a bribe? Let's see
Now, I think someone takes bribes because they have more wealth, power, etc. for selfish reasons. So, the person who is taking the bribe feels richer, wealthy, etc. So, taking a bribe is also good? Let's see.
Let me start by quoting an example. If a natural process like childbirth takes nine months, if you get a chance to prepend it by giving a bribe, It might be good for everyone. Benefits such as less pain and less time are taken into account, but can we imagine what will happen to the baby? The baby will not be alive or healthy or will have lifetime consequences of some kind. So, nature has not given you the option to cut the processing time, and because of that, we are healthy.
Similarly, bribery is like a long-term alignment for self-development. A bribe doesn't respect the rules and policies of the land. Rule and policy are made by the brilliant people of the country, and the sole process of rule and policy is the development of the people of the country.
Let's see if both parties are normal and don't give or receive bribes.
I think if a person doesn't give a bribe, he needs to do all the steps to get that work done, which means more time and more effort. What happens if we give the appropriate time and effort? Learning happens if we learn the process. We can help improve the process by providing proactive feedback. We are empowered by the knowledge of jobs that can benefit us, our family, and our friends. We also have some skills, and if, in the process, you can give an idea to improve them, then it's a long-term development of human society.
If a person doesn't take a bribe, he will get a good night's sleep. He will feel a level of integrity. He will get promoted based on better work rather than giving bribes. The money he gets in the house will flourish the family and the coming generations after this; otherwise, the same money will bring alignment because of people who feel frustrated or looted by giving bribes. Nation-building will happen if the person is more focused on good work or giving good service than looking for shortcuts.
