Simply
said, a habit is a routine or behavior that is performed regularly, and in many
cases, automatically.
Ever
wonder why there are people who are fond of doing things which are considered
as morally wrong, yet they still do them? It has become their habits – an automatic
response to a stimulus. Paired with justifications and the ability to whitewash
lies (and probably experiencing mental illness like psychopathy and
narcissistic disorder), they still can sleep well at night.
In
his worldwide bestseller “Atomic Habits,” James Clear posited: Once habits are
established, they seem to stick around forever – especially the unwanted ones.
Despite the individual’s best intentions, unhealthy habits like [accumulating
money even in a corrupt manner] can feel impossible to break.
Bandyk
(2016) mentioned: Most corrupt acts are not committed by those whom we would
likely picture as bad people, certainly not with knowing the specific contexts
and rationalization behind a corrupt act. More often than not, corruption is a
tale of “protagonists of these behaviors [that] gradually slide into habits,
without thinking of them as wrongdoings.”
Dan
Ariely, professor of behavioral economics and psychology at Duke University,
calls this the fudge factor – “an ability to rationalize some dishonesty
[where] as long as we cheat just a little bit, we can still rationalize it.”
Yet
ultimately, habits matter since they help you become the person you want to be.
You become your habits. A person who has the habit of writing will eventually
be called a writer. Therefore, a person who is not honest enough of dealing
other people’s money will either be corrupt or dishonest.
There
is no single way to create better habits. But the awareness of good and evil must
be in the system of a person. Doing good things repeatedly will cause automatic
goodness. The opposite is fearsome.
