ARE WE A NATION?

Maturity demands ability to accept other person’s paradigm with patience and courage. Other person’s paradigm is actually how they see the world based on their knowledge and beliefs. Unfortunately we are unfamiliar with the term called “Maturity”.

Pakistani people have diversity in their thoughts and beliefs. We are so rigid in our opinions that we don’t accept other’s point of view. We are biased. Diversity in thoughts along with non-flexible attitude resulted in sectarianism which lead the country toward social, economic and religious crisis.

Sectarianism detracted us from common goals. We don’t work for common cause which can lead the country towards prosperity and piece.

Illiteracy and ignorance are the root cause of extremism, discrimination and prejudice. People have set their paradigms according to the family and society where they grow. We don’t bother about disrespecting other people because of their beliefs. We tease them for having different domination and faith. We treat them differently because of their paradigms.

We are not a nation. We are crowd of people having no discipline and ethics. We are deprived off the true sense of brotherhood and unity. Hate and prejudice have established its root in our mind.

We can’t grow as a nation until we uproot prejudice and hate from our lives. We need to address the issues of extremism and discrimination. Let’s keep our internal differences aside and fight for unity, faith, love and brotherhood. It’s time to stop blame game. Let’s go hand in hand and began a new journey of love, respect and unity. Let’s make it clear to our enemies that we are a nation not a crowd of people.
