We, the
citizens of Pakistan, are more blamable than our government for the
exploitation in our country today. Realize it or not!
No one is
unaware of the fact that corruption has worked its way into our country
completely. Every single part of our daily life is affected by this uninvited
and unwelcomed guest. Gun shooting, street crimes, road accidents, robbery,
bribe, violent protests, strikes and what-not! Everything has wreaked havoc on
our precious land and has shadowed us like a beast. The increasing mortality
rate is an evidence of our putrid society.
In such a
critical condition, we, citizens think that we are unable to do anything. We
are actually too afraid to stand up against evil. We blame our government for
everything that goes wrong. We abuse them with the bitterest words we know and reward
them with curses. Have we ever thought that our country is made of us, the
people? We contribute the most in designing our nation; either beautiful or
ugly. Have we ever thought how can we make
our country better?  |
| Be the change you wish to see in the world -Gandhi |
Let’s see. Every
one of is well aware of the individual rights that our country is supposed to
provide us but none of us even bother to know about the individual duties that
we are supposed to perform as a responsible citizen. It’s very easy to blame
others but very hard to realize one’s own mistakes. We can write a list of laws that are not being
followed by our officials but we try to conceal the violence that we are
causing to our country’s constitution. We refuse to comply the rules every
single day.
Do we follow the traffic rules? Do we practice our jobs faithfully? Do we pay our taxes? We don’t even wait in a line for our turn; we push and try to get first. We are the ones who bear off rights of our fellow citizens more than anyone else. If are assigned to be intermediates between donors and poor, we eat more than we feed. Who is wrong? It’s definitely us!
We need to change ourselves. No matter how helpless and incapacitated we think we are, we can bring a change. This change can only be brought when every single citizen of this country will realize its responsibility and think optimistically. This change can be brought when we will unite, improve ourselves and change ourselves before trying to change the whole country.
I repeat:
Few officials do not make the country. I agree that we cannot challenge their power
and authority but the strength in unity is unbeatable. If we improve ourselves,
our country will progress. I promise.
Remember! We
are the people of an independent democratic country. We have all the authority.
Either we can wait for the change forever
or we can be responsible citizens and see our country touching the heights.
Choice is all ours J
