Everyday all of us wake up and start the day...Using words like I, Me, Mine, Mujhe, Mera,... I have to do this...According to ME... This is MINE...MUJHE yeh chaheay...MERA dil nai chahraha...
Suddenly I realize...exactly how selfish, self centered, and inconsiderate we are...ALL of us are...and this ME feeling is affecting US....as a nation...
"Why should he be the last person to cross the signal...and why should I have to wait?"...sounds familiar? ...yea thats each one of us talking...and if we dont say it...we do feel that way....our actions project this feeling...cant we say that lets all take our turn in crossing TOGETHER?
Why should someone else be free ... while I do the work? ...another one of our thoughts...how many times do we think that...why should that person do the work alone...why dont I go and help...and WE do it together?
The above stated situations sill occure when we are alone to do something...and the completion of the task at hand would be our own singular effort...but there is a worse case of thoughtlessness that can be frequently witnessed...that is in group situations...when a group of people are given one single task to complete...and one person ends up doing all the work while the others sit back and relax...the general sentiment in these situations is...why should I do seomething...or even worse...if HE/SHE is doing it let them...I'LL turn up when all the work is done...
Why do we think this way?...that is the question that needs to be answered...why have we truned this selfish...why dont we make the small efforts to help people ...make their lives simpler...and bring peace to our own?
We think like this...because we have been always been taught to subject others to our judgements ... to our prejudices...to discrimination...what is worse is that no one instructed us to think this way...feel this way...but slowly and gradually we have been led to this...by our society in general...
There will be no use complaining about WHO did this...so lets get to the solution quickly...
Form this moment ... today...here and now..let us make a conscious effort to help others...make things easier for people around us...not just people who we know...EVERYONE...
Exactly how much effort can it take...to be pleasnt to a stranger...to help someone carry their burden...to let someone cross the road while we stop our car to let them pass...to help someone clean up...to form a line and wait for our turn...to simply realise that others are as important as we are...no matter their color, creed, cast, religion or social position...we are all humans FIRST...and EVERYTHING else later...
And when it comes to classifying...how convinently we are made to forget one class...the one that brings us together...we are all PAKISTANIS....and when we are labled that...we all stand united...
So let us all make an effort to change our old stubborn habits...and replace them with ones that bring us together...and move forward... TOGETHER :)
United We Stand...Divided We Fall...So Let Us Be The Change That Would Unite Our Nation
