Quote by Saul Alinsky
Life is a corrupting process from the time a child learns to play his mother off against his father in the politics of when to go to bed he who fears corruption fears life.
Summary
This quote suggests that corruption is an inherent part of life, beginning early on when children manipulate their parents. It implies that corruption is intertwined with experiences and choices, and those who fear corruption are essentially fearing the fullness and complexity of life itself. In this context, corruption is not limited to morally wrong actions but refers to the inherent negotiation, compromise, and manipulation that comes with navigating life's challenges and social dynamics.
