Who Will Save us


WHO WILL SAVE US….

Existence of any civilizations, races or geographically built boundaries, depends upon incessant struggle for long time by its people. It is norm of every successful country to have a group of dedicated, honest role models known as people’s leaders to lead and rest of nation to follow them with same zeal. This equation brings justice, strength and prosperity but if this equation gets imbalanced due to any of the two or both, leaders or people then country as a whole is pushed to debacle.

There are several examples we read in history about ancient civilizations or countries which were once the strongest powers enjoying peace, prosperity and might but they are non-existent now, the only reason inferred is that both the leaders or the people disturbed the balance of equation while becoming corrupt, wicked, dishonest to each other, and as a consequences, the country or nation vanished, only to be found in history books.

Pakistan is the best paradigm for above prelude. We are the country going through its worst time. The balance of equation between leaders and people is totally disturbed. If at one end, the leaders are dishonest, corrupt and insincere to country then at the same, people are also behaving in the same fashion.

Leaders are selfish, their all the priorities rest either with their political party’s interests or with their individual interests. They are always contriving to raise their bank accounts, increase their assets and their lust has no end.

People or common man is also not angel; majority of us is also selfish, and corrupt, excluding small minority who is always steadfast in their morality. One can easily discern while observing one’s daily life, from head of any department to the peon, from gigantic businessman to small shop keeper, you will see examples of cheating, dishonesty with each other.
The most tragic part of all this immorality, prevailing in both essentials of the equation; leaders and people, is that none of the two considers one’s wrong doings a wrong doing. We have lost our sense of repent and the feelings of guilt. We have become clever enough to change the definition of dishonesty or corruption while giving false meaning to our wrong doings as now people in power commit corruption to accomplish one’s genuine task as per rules. For example, one qualifies for electricity connection on merit, the concern person in authority will take bribe to approve, therefore corrupt person comforts his conscious while saying that he did the lawful act and did not deprive the deserving of his right. Now how will we correct ourselves from corrupt to noble when we do not even believe that we are corrupt?

The most horrible aspect is that we are proudly passing this devastating evil on to our next generations. Now we are not ashamed of doing corruption, so don’t feel any need to hide it from our kids, rather we serves them as an institute to learn to be corrupt. Son of a corrupt politician also becomes corrupt politician even at higher scale and it applies to every profession, though it is government employment in any department, businessman, services rendering professions etc.

Here comes the acme of pessimism that if we will keep transferring this culture of immorality and corruption to our posterities then “Who Will Save us”.
