Currently, there are 195
officially known countries in the world. Our beloved country is one of them, and
was recognized as the Islamic Republic of Pakistan. Ever since the country
appeared on the world map, it has faced many hitches. Every nation has come to a
debauched, rough and disrupt era. The nations who stood tall during these trying
times stand amongst the inordinate nations. In the present setting, the
requisite is to unbridle the devotion and chauvinism of the youth, which will
pave a pathway for a better future of Pakistan. It is often said that be the
change you want to see. Therefore, a few points that can help make Pakistan a
superior nation are conferred as follows and as I want to see Pakistan.
Individual concern
This doesn’t actually mean taking the responsibility of the whole country, but
what it means is that your identity as a Pakistan national will delineate how
you are treated and every one of us is somehow liable for the image of Pakistan.
Therefore, we should take individual responsibility of our engagements and their
magnitudes on our beloved country. We are the country. When we act, not only we
are representing our country but also our own personal upbringing.
National resources as own resources
We often visit amusement parks and witness the deteriorating condition of the
facilities there; not to mention the colossal amount of litter that is present
there. No doubt the government is responsible for the maintenance but it is not
the government who has concealed the walls with wall chalking and littered the
place. We must consider the national resources as our own resources and play our
part in preserving them.
Veneration of law enforcement agencies
Now the law enforcement agencies may not be perfect but that doesn’t mean we
should not hold them in high esteem. Reverence of the law enforcement agencies
will only be possible if we will respect the law. Therefore, valuing the law
yields veneration of the law enforcement agencies.
Say NO to sectarianism
I want a Pakistan where all the grouping and discrimination on the basis of
cast, culture, language, and creed needs to stop. Events should be structured to
cater brotherhood among the different groups. What we must realize before it’s
too late is that all the people are equal in the eyes of Allah Almighty; what
makes one superior in the eyes of Allah is ‘taqwa’ - the Islamic conception of
having self-restraint. Thus, we should unite together, and say NO to
sectarianism for this is one of the ladders towards the betterment of Pakistan.
Be patient on the road
Have you been stuck in a road due to another person's quickly move or sometimes
you also do the same? If we start following traffic rules and show some patience
on the road, the result would be better.
I want a Pakistan where we don’t race ahead before the countdown at the red
light is still at ‘3’. Keep in your lane and show a friendly behavior to other
drivers.
To conclude, being the citizens of Pakistan it is our responsibility to stand up
for our country before it is too late. We have to take Pakistan out of the
current crisis and safeguard the interests of our nation. All we have to
understand is that we are capable of bringing the change we want to see in this
country. As the Quaid said, “You are made of sterling material and are second to
none.” Long Live Pakistan!
