LEARNING TO KNOW THE CONCEPT OF SURVIVAL

In a morning discussion with a colleague about what’s so urgency about things all the time, I realized a grim fact about the change in human behavior over a period of time. It was hard to realize that the fight for survival which has been there since inception it has overcome all the other aspects of human societies and now we are all majorly just fighting for survival and the rest is our secondary priority.

This seems to be cruel though as it has its own diverse and vast effects on social norms, human behavior and ultimately the development of a nation as a whole. The basic philosophy of nature is to live in the present not in past or future. Reality is the present. It is all so clear and all so evident but one just has to sit down and think, all the answers are all around us. 

Birds are up and about to find their food for the day with the first ray of morning. They spend the whole day in search of food and as the sun is settling they return to their homes. They get their food for the day return home and are asleep as the sun goes down. That is the basic philosophy of belief. God has promised food for everyone He created. The birds can not carry food on their wings or store in their nests for a rainy day and may be when some day they don’t feel like doing any search they could just use their stored food. They are not fighting for survival in the sense to store the keep building any estate or empire.

I am sure it’s not like that with normal human behavior. In fact nowadays seems like a race for survival. This factor has surpassed all other thoughts and worries. We want to gather and store as much as we can. So are we going away from our basic rule of religion which is the rule of nature indeed? The success stories of nations and countries are based on their learning, believing and practicing the true spirit of nature. Live in present not past or the future. And off course if you do good in the present your future is to be good and when you reach there and look back your past would also be a memory to cherish.

No Names, No Blames, … and still a Hope and Dream

It’s kind of a rare weather in January and that too in Lahore. Light drizzle and not too chili though one would still feel the cold breeze. Surely this calls for a good cup of coffee and a muffin if you have an English desire for breakfast. Nobody can say no to an Aloo (potato) Paratha Roll with Omlate and a hot cup of Tea. While I was thinking of indulging myself in any one of these morning delicacies of Lahore a strange feeling of depressing was floating in my mind.

I don’t want to think about the chaotic call of long march going on for a week or so. I want to put behind all the media and political follow up on this new so called “CALL for Change” which ended up in yet another coalition. What are we talking about? What are we falling for? And that too once again, another agreement? For all those who had been following this event quite particularly and silently hoping for SOME Change” big new for you once again they all will live happily ever after. (this includes the new SUFI or Leader as he calls himself, the almost ex-government and its allies) and as for you my fellow Pakistanis we will have new tariffs, no CNG, inflation, low income and the list goes on.  

Ok I have finally decided that I will have coffee and a donut. This should make me feel better. The bitterness of coffee should lessen the after affects of another coalition (which I also hope to be a CHANGE for our nation) and the sweetness of donut would bring me another dream for ourselves to look forward to.

Yes I am still optimistic that we can bring change and we don’t need another leader to do that. A change in any individual will carry this chain which can bring good things in our coming times. I make a promise to change myself and believe and follow the true and basics. This is how all other flourishing and rising nations have believed and followed. It’s a pity at times when I see all the true lessons and extracts of our religion are being followed by other nations and which has been reason of their success. When we try to learn the way how these nations became so united, powerful, progressing and yet welfare states. The answer is nothing but the true extracts of our religion.  We need to be focused and non judgmental in order to accomplish something. This is our factual learning and only way to achievement. So good bye Political and so called SUFI leaders. We can do better job for ourselves.
