Luxury or Needs first? We got to decide it.

The blame game is on for years now and we should have been sick and tired of this dirty drama depicting the negativities around us and not showing and revealing the positive side of issues around us.
We blame the government is not anything and simply forget our role in the scenario. We cannot get a much needed change of attitude if we keep on holding other people responsible for all the problems of the world. A famous saying “If you are not the part of the solution, then you are part of the problem in the first place”.
Bold TV Anchors, Straight forward Journalists, so called honest Politicians, Talented industrialists, Leading religious activists, Famous lawyers, Truly good poets, Educationists, all seem to condemn the system and have their own views to fix the Problem. We as common Pakistanis are by negative grounds, forced to confined our life in the walled circle of basic survival which is a rented place, house hold expenses, kids Education, Kids marriages, Utility bills, safety of all family members and many more problems that we do not have time to discuss the core issues or take some revolutionary steps as a Nation on the whole to fix the problem. We need to show our own sincerity to our home land by surviving in the limited means of income, we have made our life so troublesome cause of the fact that a worker wants to adopt the life style of a Super visor, A super visor wishes to match his spending with a manager, Manager will follow footsteps of a Senior manager and cycle goes on till we reach the stage when some big shot is trying to match the life style of the President of Pakistan.
That compels people to take the short route of corruption to excel in life, this short route could start from not paying taxes, frauds in business and with people, mis-using the talents of people by paying them less, not returning loans, not re-investing the profits in to business and sending earning abroad in the foreign accounts, taking bribes at all levels, making sure that honest people do not grow or are placed at positions where they can be a stumbling block in the way of corruption and that includes electing the people to rule us, begging from an ordinary street beggar to a level of a Head of the State asking for loans, then comes the evil of Credit cards, that has made every one addicted to enjoy the money which is not earned by hard work, the interest free business dealings system given to us by our religion is still the best way to survive within our own sources.
Some people regard certain kinds of work or professions as contemptible. However, the Prophet (peace be on him) denied the validity of this notion. He taught his Companions that the whole of a human being’s dignity is tied up with his work—any sort of work —and that real disgrace and humiliation consist of depending on other people’s help. He said, It is better that a person should take a rope and bring a bundle of wood on his back to sell so that Allah may preserve his honor, than that he should beg from people, (regardless of) whether they give to him or refuse him. (Reported by al-Bukhari and Muslim.)
Allah will inflict a disgrace upon you which will not be removed until you return to your religion. (Reported by Abu Daoud.)
We are still having the fate of being disgraced by the people who control us all cause of our lust and greed for wealth, in order to fulfill our wrong desires we can go to any extent starting from dodging own family members and friends to the level of looting the resources of our home land when and where given a chance.
But when they see some business or amusement, they disperse to it and leave thee standing. Say: ‘What is with Allah is better than amusement and than business; and Allah is the best of providers.’ (62:11)
We got to learn to survive in the available means and we must pursue our basic right of having equal opportunities in life as there is absolutely no restriction of pursuing better life backed up by fair means efforts. We start playing our part and keep on pushing the decision makers that they got to move in the right direction.
It is not necessary to have a 1300 cc car when we can hardly afford an 800 cc one, it is not needed to spend a lot on marriages just to show off, it is not needed to rent a bigger house when we can’t afford it, bank loan is not needed when we can gradually build our business, it is not needed to wear expensive brands when we can survive in equally good clothes but at less than 1/4th of the price, we can survive with a cheaper cell phone rather than spending thousands on it just to show others that how expensive mobile phone we have got despite the fact that we do not even use its full features that make it expensive, and there could be hundreds of examples. We adopt wrong means of earning when we exhaust every limit of available financial means and then we make our life miserable in the rat race of earning. The biggest problem of all is that we start in the company of Elites who are filthy rich and become complexed and we ruin ourselves by matching their spending pattern, their life style etc and make a bad out of a good life we were enjoying before our interaction with them.
It is a fact that our leaders and rulers are a true representation of what we are these days as a Nation but we keep on denying the fact that we need to mend our ways first, if we become honest at individual level, then a chain reaction will start which will purify the system and over all out of us as a Nation will certainly improve.
Allah bless Pakistan and move us all in the right direction!
