How to not get corrupted and be a bad person as a 18yo Burning Karma

[Magnanimous]

Currently 18, with my prospective Life Purpose ideas going into Leadership, and starting a Business.

If you follow Leo enough, you see that he constantly points out corruption, unethical, and evil behaviour in rich businesspeople, and other very successful individuals. Not everyone of them are like that but a lot of them are.

My question: What resources/videos should I watch to avoid being corrupted like all those businessmen Leo points out when I'm not doing serious spiritual work and I'm just trying to burn karma? Leo's resources on avoiding corruption seem to be more tailored for someone in the spiritual part of their life (30's) and I've got 12 years until that.

Burning through karma is a weird concept. 

Karma means one's own actions. How are you gonna burn your own actions? 

I get the concept of corruption. But why try to be idealistic? The whole of human civilization is a carnivorous species who's actually capable of genuine love for their prey. Some say it's "symbiotic relationships, not corruption", think about the underpaying boss who remembers your birthday. Both care and exploitation are genuine. Both feeds different needs. Cognitive Polyphasia is a real thing. Humans are capable of holding many conflicting worldviews all at the same time. 

I have huge problems with how Leo postures corruption and stones people for being people. You can't avoid corruption because you are it. There's no point preaching veganism to carnivores. It's totally absurd to expect lack of corruption from humanity. They'll just find better ways to be corrupt. Sure, the previous iteration can look horrible from this vantage point. But fundamentally humans can't change being carnivores.

@ryokoBe an asshole and dont care about anyone. Burning through karma is sort of being corrupt. If you are an asshole teenager that wants to get drunk and party and vandalism you just do it. If your mom tell you to stop drinking or get kicked out you call her a retard and piss on the floor.

You kinda have to get selfishness out. I burn through my karma by doing this. 

To burn through karma is to do what you want and think you are the greatest then you develop a big ego then the ego will get scared that you will lose everything and then you will lose everything. Then you will be humbled.

Once humbled you try to work through your corruptions.

IMO burning karma is to see the whole truth in what you are doing.
If you want to go party/ socialize or run your business, if you do it unconsciously it can corrupt you and you will not get those desires out since you never see truth.

Basically what you do is when you do a thing, like making money or whatever you always reflect on it and see whats true.

For example:
You will see that the way you are acting is literally ugly if you are involved in unethical business practice for example.
If you engage in materialism like buying a luxury item observe how its just a object like any other and wont make you happy.
Etc.

I don't have any resources for this. Leos videos on Karma, Integrity and Introspection maybe but i assume you have seen those.
You just need to develop introspection, care of truth and feel into things.

But don't worry too much about being ethical, life is a jungle and you will get eaten if you are not selfish enough.

Corruption occurs when you go so low that you completely loose track on what you do and why, and you become an overeactive mother fucker, unable to think properly and infecting every area of your life. The antidote is self reflection and avoid getting involved with corrupted people. Ethics is a relative thing, but the human psyche is more or less a universal thing highly dependent on the system it is part of, which can result in more or less stable minds across the board. A corrupt place will create less stable minds, which ends up causing more suffering, violence, lying, stealing and so surviving becomes even harder. Coca-cola is a multibillion dolar business that causes great harm because the food they sell creates sickness and a less stable mind. If you correct that then you're tackling the problem of corruption.

There are businesses that causes harm and others that don't, plain and simple. To live you can't avoid being selfish, but you can live masterfully or like a complete dumb.
