Is Ignorance a Bliss?
Sitting in a room full of people and yet you think you’re alone! To me this has happened many a times. I don’t know if this is my absent mindedness or is it me not paying attention to what is being taken place around me. I think people have now become ignorant of their environment. Don’t you think if you and I were to take a look at the current scenario we would be disturbed? No matter what part of the world we live in there is so much going on that people have had enough of it. We have our own agenda in which our motto is “Ignorance is Bliss”. We don’t want to know because then we would have to react to it. We have come to terms with the fact that the world is corrupt and that only if the government tries, it would be a better place. I say is it really necessary to blame the government of what is happening around us! I mean can’t we start working for our benefit on a grass root level. We ourselves make the government then why complaint? We have the right to vote for the person who we think is suitable for the job of running our country not ruining it. If we start with the basics I’m sure life would be simpler. People need to be educated of their rights and acts. An educated country is a prosperous country. We have to make people aware of the fact that now its turn to choose what’s best for us. Let us take a pledge today to start making the world a better place for us and for our generations to come!

trueee... its pretty the scene these days we ignore things going on around us so that we can easily say,*we did not know about it*.. also we tend to ignore things purposely cuz *humein na karna parjae* i think theres so much going on for so long now that people have given up to things. they have become more of like,*hataaao bhuheeee mein apna to bhala karon* but if we, each person in their own capacity works towards a betterment, be it of any kind it could seriousli positively affect others too ! but this needs for our people to open up their minds and start thinking BIG ! thinking OTHERS .... not just I ! looking at the positive not just crticizing always or thinking if i take an initiative what will people think. most of the time we worry about the things around the actual thing which needs to be done and we end up doing nothing !
ReplyDeleteignorance is not our problem people... the act that we put up to stay away from trouble is... we know what is going around as.. at least some of us do... and they too don't do nothing about it... why??? because what's in it for us?? we defend our rites and no no one else's.. adding to this problem of selfishness we also have another of being blind followers... we all are like a herd of mindless sheep jumping on our way to the fields because that is what the first sheep did... and yes another big problem is just saying flashy things and trying to impress women all the time... u can look at me for that:D
ReplyDeleteHey, look tlkin about ignorance ,, its diffrnt frm govt thing....either consider only ignorant part or the govt one....because we all know tht govt topic is not a 12 to 15 line topic to b tlkd abt....ur point of feelin left alone in room full of people ..its up to u..not them tht they ignord u...its u who is bit reserved and wants to be in ur fantasies....the moment u in ur daydreams ppl around u wont disturb u or call u to join in as thy will say...leave it khudi apnay khayalon main khoi/khoya huwa hai.....whereas on ther other hand.....pak has became alot more corupt country.....well asal main hum boht dil walay hain....once american said to paki we take good care for our prisonrs wht u do....so in reply paki said we make thm president....
ReplyDeleteHere the major prob is the literacy....jo parha likha atta hai ussai tiknay nahi daitay...kyun kay woh joo baat karta hai woh unparh kay samajh ati nahi....and yaahan unparh ziada hain besides literate.....so that pledge thing wont work for coming decades until unless koi ayub khan jaisa naa ajai.....and jab tak these landlords here u cant help it...so better apnay main raho... :-)
Listen up people i didin't right this for you to judge whether im an introvert or not, although i may clarify that i am not! The description of the room was just an opening act and not about how i take life! You make me sound ridiculous!!
ReplyDeleteMy point was to basically emphasis on the fact that its not what an individual thinks its about us collectively. and i did mention education as one of the major causes of our lacking behind. And last but not least it should never be about America and Pakistan because deep down we know that there is no comparison. And your point of *better apnay main raho* is the thinking that is making us loosers. Aray kyun apnay main raho...bahir nikal ke dekho theres much that you can change with very little effort. Trust me thinking is way different that implimenting...And who is here to blame the government...we all do. But noe its time for a change! Youth is what will cause a change and i believe in that.
Well ,, hey didnt meant to point u directly....i was tlkin it generally...and the point i said better apnay main raho..its basically in connecting to the point of the landlords.....u know i know and we all living in this nation know tht apna bacha khelono sai khel kay bara hota hai landlords ka bacha guns sai....abhi aap kharay huway nahi and apni awaz uthai nahi ...agaly din u in the front page of newsppr....youngster shot dead....this is y i said better apnay main raho....kal ko u are dead wht will happen to ur family and specially ur parents tht there child died in such a lil age....thts y i said better apnay main raho....
ReplyDeletecompairin america and pak is an irrational act i know it vry well....i just cracked a lame joke...it wasnt said by me to compare on this bases america and pak........
well first of all a big applause for nim for taking up the initiative of atleast bringing sumthing constructive to talk about...keep up gurl :) see i agree with your point that we can do alot and i guess this is time that we should all realise this..we've been relying on this system of ours since ages now and by God nuthing has been done...its high time now to do SUMTHING...but then ammar's right on his point too..ill quote an example here...a friend of mine (fatty knws him), writes a very popular blog..hes always very blunt and open in what he says, never hesitates to point out the weaknesses of this system we live in...the weaknesses that ammar pointed out earlier...and guess wat...he recieved several threats and mere attempts on his life...isnt that shocking...but that was sumwhat understood and he himself knew it that voicing up will have atleast some consequence..he dint stop there...but what was more disturbing was when his friends were arrested by police and he being given a notice by a court for writing stuff against zardari (he quoted out facts there btw)...now u tell me under such a condition, wat can one do...
ReplyDeleteBut yes if one thing that can be changed in this system, it can surely be the mindsets of the people wich i believe we can easily do...just a little determination among us is what all is needed..
recently a group of young students in islamabad got together on a busy road...they had coordinated through a facebook event page and went out with bin bags to pik rubbish from the streets..No promotions no nuthing...the impact was so huge that by evening many people had joined this campeign...
I mean cmon yaar if they can do, why not us !!
