Is human a riddle? (Part-II)

Looking at our country rather than the world, we have a greater sense of bitterness and prejudice in outward behavior. This is because people in Pakistan are divided into different levels. Although this division exists within the provinces, there seems to be more conflict between the provincial units. Social media is presenting a warlike atmosphere all the time. Hateful environments are being fueled by nonsense and illogical content. In which one person from one province is suspicious of another. People are less interested in practical work. He has taken on the responsibility of criticism. The walls of social media are shocking by their abuses, but no one grabs these people. On the other hand intellectuals are limited to their circles. Due to their silence and detachment, less knowledgeable and biased people are prevailing. The social reform system has maintained this contractual thinking. Negative propaganda regarding government employees, politicians and other departments has been deemed as duty, it is strengthening the atmosphere of frustration and helplessness day by day. They constantly raise complains for the deprived although the lives of those who spread these negativity are far better and comfortable than their ancestors. These people are busy all the time in abusing and complaining and do not bother to think for a moment that they can also make social reforms through their positive actions. It is important to understand that everyone must work within their scope.

Before Christ, the Greek philosophers had stated the fact that not every human being is equal; some people are given special abilities by God. Not everyone has the ability to make decisions and accept challenges. This is the case with the arts, literature and other fields. The body of each individual acts in the same way that his mind commands it. People with very powerful bodies can be weaker and less enthusiastic, while those with seemingly weak are very strong. Along with making decisions, they have the ability to make and complete major projects. One of the biggest tragedies in our society is that parents have the responsibility of deciding our role. Any child who is not interested in medicine is wished to be a doctor and the child who hesitates to make sand house, is desired to be an engineer and build big buildings. When you assign someone duties that suit his interests and qualities, the result is 100 percent positive. Because the person does not considers his work a burden, but performs it as a pleasant act. Here he does not even care about the time, because for him the fulfillment of the work is like a real relief of heart therefore he always strives for fulfillment.

Some things are written and they are in harmony with the elements of our being, so instead of putting thorns in the path of others, we should try for ourselves and seek the justification of good deeds

Literature and culture are the platforms through which positive change can take place in society. We have not initiated any coordination between the provinces for 72 years. People go to another province for jobs but there is no atmosphere of adoption as people do not have contact with people, hate and strangeness is increasing day by day. If we want to make Pakistan a strong state, then we have to promote the atmosphere of unity by reducing the provincial capitals. People go to other countries but do not participate in fairs held in other provinces. It is imperative that the national level cultural and literary institutions ensure the maximum number of people attending regional fairs, and then only journey towards humanity will begin.

Science has not yet been able to detect how the human mind becomes aware of premature events, and that information somehow reaches us in the form of dreams those facts that still have some time to appear. Of course this is the destiny. Some things are written and they are in harmony with the elements of our being, so instead of putting thorns in the path of others, we should try for ourselves and seek the justification of good deeds. It is also a blessing if it is achieved. Otherwise, guilt is invading a person at some point.

Sufi poets have taught people to become better human by explaining universal truths and moral values. They tell about the dishonour departure of the rude and brutal. Honour is only for the one who seeks to win hearts. Those who believe in the land, property and inheritance are deprived of the inheritance, so one should fear the ruler who is the most powerful and more compassionate for the lovers than seventy mothers, and vice versa, a symbol of lesson to those who do wrong. Then it is proved that if the world is to become a source of peace, humanity will have to be promoted. Every person has to start a life who leads towards humbleness. Somehow Science is unable to address humans reactions. Perhaps someday philosophers will say goodbye to their hidden rooms and may come to rule the world with all the solutions they have.
