Where does corruption come from?

"life is the heart's reflection" OR "the heart is life's reflection"

Interested in hearing the communities thoughts on the topic.

The heart is an amazing organ in what it does. Going to be some feedback both ways for such an engine to do what it achieves.

It is interesting in how some passionate memories and motivations can also be transferred in some heart transplant operations.

There is something passionate about life for it to make it this far.

I will just add a few disjointed thoughts that I carry with me as " truths." 
I had never seen a benevolent authoritarian state as their Department of Dirty Tricks (DDT) is usually working overtime.. Kinda like our own CIA

When you outlaw doing the right thing...  A certain moral flexibility may be necessary to survive

Wars are good for politicians who want the population to focus on something else other than their corruption and money making schemes.  1965 thru 1968 Vietnam 224 Aim 7 sparrow missiles were fired at Migs with only 20 hits. A very expensive POS missile that did not work as advertised...What is new with military equipment other than they cost more and it takes several years and big bucks to work the bugs out and then it is obsolete and the whole process starts over again ... Great money making racket..

Pyrrhic Victory Greek general around 280 BC a victory not worth winning

 "To conquer a nation, First disarm it's citizens."  -Adolf Hitler

Totalitarianism and any government is Always Built on Fear ...... The outlawing of political opposition is a classic hallmark of totalitarian systems and IMO once the despots get control it is almost impossible to wrestle control back without blood shed as all they do is make the present which is LEGAL into something ILLEGAL so they can proceed with their totalitarian plans..Power has always defined a states
 authority and the state controls the violence and the taxes. Unyielding obedience does not need unconditional love; just enforcers who will do anything for their government; all for a few pitiful shekels/paycheck and no remorse.

“The only solution for bad and violent people are good people that are more skilled in violence.” —— Japanese samurai code Bushido. Nothing could be more true IMO

Something IMO we have just gone through and demonstrated is the gaining control of the judiciary and then control whatever form of media that exist ... Use the Judiciary to punish any dissidents and the media to sing your praise while you gain even more control and destroy your enemies..War doesn’t determine who is right, but who is left.
If there's one thing that at least six thousand years of recorded human governance teaches, it's that there's never a shortage of despots.

Certainly amazing! Nonstop motion (hopefully!). And the electrical field! What a complex dance.

Although I think the threadidea was being less literal organ, although the metaphor is interesting of 'plaque' being corruption blockage! And to what 727Sky says, blockage to the healthy flow of justice through the state bloodmoving apparatus, as metaphor also.

It is interesting the heart is claimed for 'passion', and also stoic resolve and heroism. "Cheer up, me hearties!" Although I think the spleen gets sometimes placed there too, in some cultures, perhaps? And the transfer of memories, motivations (and perhaps corruptions?) in transplant operations is a veryvery curious thing! Has that been proven or is science scared to haha?

They say the heart starts dying very shortly after birth.

In our study we discovered that the centrosome in cardiac muscle cells undergoes a process of disassembly which is completed shortly after birth,’ Prof. Engel explains. ‘This disassembly process proceeds by some proteins leaving the centrosome and relocating to the membrane of the cell nucleus in which the DNA is stored. This process causes the centrosome to break down into the two centrioles of which it is composed, and this causes the cell to lose its ability to reproduce.

Hmm… I wonder why….

Babies’ hearts beat 150 times per minute, they’re tickers are not dying yet, and 5 year olds can be active for hours on end, and suffer no exhaustion.

I don’t think it’s until typically about 9 to 12 years old that the heart becomes corrupted.

The heart is the center of the universe.

Above it is three chakra's and below are three more.

Tis true without lying, certain and most true. That which is below is like that which is above and that which is above is like that which is below to do the miracle of one only thing. And as all things have been and arose from one by the mediation of one: so all things have their birth from this one thing by adaptation. The Sun is its father, the moon its mother, the wind hath carried it in its belly, the earth is its nurse. The father of all perfection in the whole world is here. Its force or power is entire if it be converted into earth. Separate thou the earth from the fire, the subtle from the gross sweetly with great industry. It ascends from the earth to the heaven and again it descends to the earth and receives the force of things superior and inferior. By this means you shall have the glory of the whole world and thereby all obscurity shall fly from you. Its force is above all force, for it vanquishes every subtle thing and penetrates every solid thing. So was the world created. From this are and do come admirable adaptations where of the means is here in this. Hence I am called Hermes Trismegist, having the three parts of the philosophy of the whole world. That which I have said of the operation of the Sun is accomplished and ended.

The heart projects energy and emotion and also receives energy and emotion. 
It's main vibration is emotion, and in the positive sense love. In the negative sense, hate. 
One can die from a broken heart.
Stress is a large cause of heart disease.
The seat of the Higher Self or Holy Guardian Angel is the heart chakra.
The organ reflects what the chakra receives and puts out. 
Smiling is important and so is compassionate love. 
The lungs are next to the heart, so breath and breathing is extremely important in caring for your heart and your emotions.  
Exercise and meditation!

Can we move from the center without tilting one way or the other and what does that mean?

Define 'move from the center'

Define 'move from the center'

Where do we find forgiveness on the scale. Is it given or received?
