? How does "trying to influence others for our own benefit" qualify as being "inherently corrupt?"
It does not qualify in an absolute or objective sense as morality is a relative thing, we have decided as a society that manipulating others for our own ends is a bad thing. You posted earlier about how corrupt some powerful people were, presumably you did not feel that you had to qualify the behavior as some behaviors are self evidently bad and corrupt, and in doing so illustrate how morality works.
