The Pakistani Spectator

The blame game is on for years now and we should have been sick and tired of this dirty drama depicting the negativities around us and not showing and revealing the positive side of issues around us.

We blame the government is not any thing and simply forget our role in the scenario. We can not get a much needed change of attitude if we keep on holding other people responsible for all the problems of the world. A famous saying “If you are not the part of the solution, then you are part of the problem in the first place”.

Bold TV Anchors, Straight forward Journalists, so called honest Politicians, Talented industrialists, Leading religious activists, Famous lawyers, Truely good poets, Educationists, all seem to condemn the system and have their own views to fix the Problem. We as common Pakistanis are by negative grounds, forced to confined our life in the walled circle of basic survival which is a rented place, house hold expenses, kids Education, Kids marriages, Utility bills, safety of all family members and many more problems that we do not have time to discuss the core issues or take some revolutionary steps as a Nation on the whole to fix the problem. We need to show our own sincerity to our home land by surviving in the limited means of income, we have made our life so trouble some cause of the fact that a worker wants to adopt the life style of a Super visor, A super visor wishes to match his spendings with a manager, Manager will follow foot steps of a Senior manager and cycle goes on till we reach the stage when some big shot is trying to match the life style of the President of Pakistan.

That compels people to take the short route of corruption to excel in life, this short route could start from not paying taxes, frauds in business and with people, mis-using the talents of people by paying them less, not returning loans, not re-investing the profits in to business and sending earning abroad in the foreign accounts, taking bribes at all levels, making sure that honest people do not grow or are placed at positions where they can be a stumbling block in the way of corruption and that includes electing the people to rule us, begging from an ordinary street beggar to a level of a Head of the State asking for loans, then comes the evil of Credit cards, that has made every one addicted to enjoy the money which is not earned by hard work, the interest free business dealings system given to us by our religion is still the best way to survive with in our own sources.

Some people regard certain kinds of work or professions as contemptible. However, the Prophet (peace be on him) denied the validity of this notion. He taught his Companions that the whole of a human being’s dignity is tied up with his work—any sort of work —and that real disgrace and humiliation consist of depending on other people’s help. He said, It is better that a person should take a rope and bring a bundle of wood on his back to sell so that Allah may preserve his honor, than that he should beg from people, (regardless of) whether they give to him or refuse him. (Reported by al-Bukhari and Muslim.)
