Revolution..Yeah We need that but how? How can we bring a change as an individual?

Enough said about bringing a revolution. In this huge pile of 170 million people everyone loves to talk about bringing a “Change” or a “Revolution” in country but nobody actually knows how to bring one and how to change the country’s situation. That’s been our dilemma lately, we like bitching about our system our politicians but we really don’t know what can we do to make an impact as an individual. No offence but we are equally as bad as our corrupt politicians because we, like them, only talk about changes and policies but we don’t really plunge into anything to make things happen and that includes myself.
Pakistan is on the verge of its worst traumas. Country is running into losses with bad debts, below par living standards and more than 40% still living under the poverty line. Economy is jeopardy, chaos is on the rise and bombings have been a tradition lately. The country still stands where it was in 1947 or I won’t be wrong if I say that Pakistan is at an even worse condition than it was in 1947 because, in 47’ at least we had people who were hungry for a scintillating future. They were united and wanted to cruise this sinking ship in the right direction to make it a successful, peaceful homeland for Pakistanis. But look what we have here; agonizingly frustrated dark era.
Well this is what we have been crying over for so many years but unfortunately for some inexplicable reason we haven’t been able to bring about a change. Now I ask why? We have been facing the same problem from the last 64 years; constitution has been broken more than once, resources not been captivated, economy has been declining consistently but still by hook or by crook one idiot replaces the other to run this country making amendments according to his wish and we bow down to them cursing them in our hearts and waiting for the next idiot, who for some odd reasons always looks like the only hope but as the time goes we start remembering the last one and after some comparisons we come to the conclusion,” Pehle wala banda hi theek tha.” For our great history full of good deeds even God has been giving signs by earthquakes, floods and most recently dengue to the country that we are surely topping the list of detesters.
Starting with the dead spirit of our nation we don’t need a wakeup call now because we have had many. There is the need to really prove that actions speak louder than words because we now need someone to stand up. Imran khan is a reasonable guy, no doubts he is the best we have right now but in my opinion even he is not the one who can really bring a “Revolution” but certainly he can bring some good changes and can be the first step towards the prosper Pakistan. We need to individually help his good cause. He needs to really target the internal affairs first rather than talking about external affairs too much. Drones, US will automatically come to an end when we will have a good system through good people.
System won’t change on its own since it’s something intangible which is directly influenced by people and here we need to change ourselves to change the system. Maybe start following the traffic signals, at least be a Good citizen first then you might add fuel to the fire of bringing a revolution or a change. Do your work honestly and play your part in making the economy of the country stronger. One thing is for sure, bringing a “CHANGE” doesn’t mean that you have to come out on streets dissing the politicians or others. These politicians are not called from anywhere else, they are the ones picked by us. Don’t blame them; blame yourself for not Voting for the right candidate. Use this most powerful tool given to you as the rightful citizen of Pakistan in the right way; it’s your duty to VOTE.
I would end this debate with a quote hoping that we would try to bring a change to our self first rather than waiting for the system and others to change, “When you can stand for what you believe in, you can change the world.”
I hope Pakistan will come up as the best country soon, I just hope that we will be able to live with our heads held high, I just hope because Hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things, and no good thing ever dies.

  3. Well.....I appreciate your such a passionate glorious thought....Being a Muslim I would Love to Code a recite from Holly Quran...translation "you first start from your own home(relatives) or close fellows to show the right path"...what we need is to have a change in our personality first of all....and could follow all the rules and regulations...without caring..what other doing....then we could able to advice rest of us...then what I believe is that...A person is an organization him or herself....every one has ability to have a change...only if we Believe on Allah and ask a true help from His side...and Insha Allah if everyone starts to divert his thought the way Allah want....will have a Noble change..:)

  5. I totally agree with you. A bitter reality indeed, which no one wants to accept... Each individual has to play his/her part to bring change.

  6. Totally Agreed! I m sure many must have been inspired by this, i m surely one of them. Its OUR COUNTRY and WE are the only ones that can change it, for a better tommorow. I know talking about it doesnt do much, Actions speaks louder than words, But we all do what we think so here is a good start that people do realise its an issue and they do talk about it, I m sure with time when people have realised that the future is only in their hands they will surely make a move, a move for a better PAKISTAN INSHALLAH Lets Keep our Faith & Hopes High!

  7. Agreed Umair thumbs up for you. I also strongly believe that one can make a difference and many can make HUGE difference. It's just we need to become an EVERY DAY ACTIVISTS taking individual everyday actions to help change our country for better. When we talk we either talk about our yesterday's actions or tomorrow's actions, we rarely talk about our today's actions.n i think what we are doing right now is all that matters. If the youth come together, irrespective of identity difference to fight for the right cause they can bring revolution. and revolution doesn't mean coming out on roads and damaging public property.When we look at revolution in a broader sense it's making people think and act in a certain manner. I am hoping your blog will do that to a certain extent.
    Keep up the good work.

  8. I agree to what Sabe and Desi said. Indeed we need a thorough change starting from our self. It's about taking a stand for the right thing and contributing.
