Bitter Truth
By Anam Asad
Of 3rd yr.
I often find myself thinking about the question, 'Why there is a need to tell a lie?' Although it is very difficult to answer this question but it's not impossible. Actually we are intimidated by reality. We try our level best to be on the top and can adopt any way(either right or wrong) to achieve our goal.I have seen a lot of people who reprehend our politicians that they are corrupt,sully,venal,dishonest and are not concerned at all about Pakistan.But tell me one thing, if we detest these people then why do we elect these people again and again? As a citizen of Pakistan, everybody has some obligations but we don't bother about our responsibilities because we think that these so called politicians can change our fate.
A lot of people criticize India and its government without any reason but have we ever realized that India is among those countries which are advancing very rapidly in the world and very soon it would be among developed countries due to its substantial democratic policies and impregnable economy. India has also succeeded in getting American support. The problem with our people is that despite our claims of independence, we still depend on foreign aid, which shows that we are beggars (who are nothing without this aid).We have lost our individuality but we are not ready to confront this bitter truth.We think that everything would be alright automatically and this Pakistan will b known as ''Quaid Ka Pakistan''.No doubt we are grossly mistaken. God helps those who help themselves. Look at China! The way she's making progress is adorable. The Chinese achieved this apotheosis by absolute realism, hard-work, honesty and self-confidence. Now the time has come to think seriously about our bright future, and whether or not we really want to resuscitate otherwise very soon we will be abated and ablated from the map of this world.
