a long-term basis

If we continue to do this on a long-term basis, if we always convince ourselves that "something that feels good / good" is the right thing to do, then our brain will think that life is just for pleasure, we think only of our own ego and try to satisfy (feel) ourselves as often as possible. This is what often happens to corruptors, a corruptor has a brain and knows that corruption is not a right thing (they realize corruption is wrong), but they feel that they are more important, their own (individual) feelings are more important than life / the feelings of many others, and it is no wonder they are grabbing the welfare of many people only for themselves, because he feels this life is just to satisfy his feelings.
