Slavery: Owing to Blindness

This imagination has got the rank of a well-known fact that if some sort of opinion about a child breathing freely in Pakistan, would be asked by a suffering child inhabited in the Occupied Kashmir, he would surely say that "he's better than myself". Now the important fact regarding this situation is that, every homeland is a country but every country can't get the opportunity to be considered a homeland for every single person inhabited on its surface.

No doubt, we are lucky to be the part of such a nation which was a dream of that great person who had an exceptional visionary power. We are definitely lucky to have all those green fields and charming flowers in our country, which are meant to bring prosperity for us and which are not threatened by the bloody sparks of the fire of slavery. But there's always a fixed age for everything. When a certain person gets older, his eyes become dependent of artificial glasses, owing to the weakness in eyesight. That means, these eyes are not able to clarify things anymore.

As far as I think so, this is the matter with us. We have lost our eye lenses while travelling on the road of changing atmospheres. When a stone named "defects of social media" hit us badly and we dropped our lenses somewhere. This trauma has also got some witnesses and evidences. The first evidence is in the form of unusual dressing of the Pakistani teenagers of the 21st century. The second evidence is the scary behavior of nation builders, like teachers who have become an important fragment of corruption, in front of their students. The third one is the illogical and humorous behavior of the 21st century students in front of their teachers, reflecting the fact that now students have become the clients of their spiritual fathers. The fourth one is, I think so that's enough.

The thing is that we actually belong to a courageous and fearless nation, which was the award of the blood of our ancestors and forefathers. This reality is enough to explain our youngsters, the real definition of sincerity towards a motherland, that motherland which is known for its spectacular sky from which any person, belonging to any religion, can enjoy every drop of rain. 

Let's gather ourselves to love and respect our country and let's try to find our eye lenses so we may be able to distinguish between our reality being a Muslim and the dark reality being an outsider in any way.
