The Irritated Nations ....... Points to Ponder.....

A nation is a combination of all groups and factions of a society and community. United, they form a Nation irrespective of cast, creed, relegion, gender or background. Even huge differences in their individual ways of life, culture, ethnic views and past matter a little when belonging to the concept of a Nation comes in.

Unfortunately, this is not found, not in the case of some of the nations in trouble. .... The trouble may relate of uncertainity of faith, uncertainity of belonging to each other, uncertainity of interest of living togther, flourishing together and most of all, doubting the intentions of fellows around one and worse is when being tortured by the cruels few around them.

There are some key reasons for such a painful situation. When the law does not find its way or roadblocks are erected in its smooth flow, or when justice is either delayed or denied upfront..... when the selfish groups and their motives rule prime and cutting throats to survive or to luxury at the cost of others lives and property, the national bonds shatter badly. When this havoc happens, it is not the victims alone who suffer. Those who are at the helm of affairs and those who live in the glass houses do get stoned and badly hurt. It is natural. When the flood comes in rushing, it does not differentiate in good or bad, tall or small, it simply washes away anything that comes in its way.

In Pakistan, some parts of India, Sri Lanka, Afghanistan, Mayanmar, Thailand, some iron curtain countries of eastern Europe, and some countries that are independent now but still under the last effects of the Colonial powers, the national spirit is evidently weak or made weak by the vested interest locally or by international players. The local warlords, relegious factions, decoits and blackmarketers, profiteers, land or drug mafias or power hungry groups who wish to keep the innocent people as puppets in their cruel clutches, the feel for a united national pride vanishes fast.

Those responsible to rectify this situation are the political leaders and the government concerned in the first impression to the beholder's eye. However, it is easy to blame only these two major characters. As indicated above, and the list is long, all responsible for creating the current situation of anarchy are to be brought to book.

A revolution is usually the answer to such lawlessness, as in Iran or Chilli or Cuba or some African countries, in the last few decades. The success of such revolutions is always questionable but the cure is always bitter to swallow. Many sacrifice just to uphold the identity of their nation or the land of their nation. Or, best still, bringing the difference of opinion to the table of discussion with sincereity and an intention to be practical.

For the national revival, insted of declaring that all that cannot be cured must be endured, it is advisable that all efforts must be undertaken by the intellecutual and elite educated and cultured class of the soicety concerned for the cure, whether successful or not. We do not work on a project with an advance guarantee of 100% success. Calculated risks are always taken and most of the time the task is accomplished as desired. Let us feel totally concerned, deeply involved and fully committed for the reconstruction of the National Thought and start reforming the ills around us without expecting a reward, appreciation or guaranteed result. Let us do it selflessly.

Believe me, our national unity and pride is a matter of life and death in the cycle of international exhistence. One famed philosopher of the past rightly said that 'I exhist because I think....' Very true. So, mere exhistance as a breathing person is almost like living a life of an animal who really is not capable of refind thinking as we human being do.

Steps must be taken, now.

So let us think, ponder, analyze, accept or national mistakes and follies and finally make up our minds as to how we can save our National from the irritational phase it is going through and what useful part each one of us can play to avoid the prevailent irritation, frustration and lawlessness. I suggest we work as a group, a selfless group of Reformers Of National Cause, raising our voice for elimination of all kinds of war lords and their fighting groups in the name of spereading Islam, for elimination of street crimes and decoits at home and businesses, fake politicians leading the nation to No-Destination, declarations of deception by persons in authority telling the poor people of no-poverty soon, no load-shedding soon, no-crimes soon, no disputes of national level soon and prosperity for all, soon. We must stand up as the time is running by. Naturally, we all have a heart that beats with the national pain. What can we do? when it is true.....AND IT IS FOR ME AND YOU, to think!

All those who have been bestowed with God-given faculties of mind, who can think and can think of how to implement these virteous objectives for the National Revival and Life and be able to look into the mirror with peace and pride. We all must die, soon and should leave some assets of respect and good work that those left behind should feel thankful, admire and pray for us. Any suggestions? (The National Lover) is what we should all be termed as.
