Fake Empathies

Standing there right before the whole crowd,
My thoughts my mind reads so aloud,
So loud that you might just hear the truth of what I said,
That everything's fabricated, everything I read,
I'm guilty, guilty of hiding who I am,
But believe me I don't do what you think, ain't got no plans,
I'm guilty because I lied and I keep lying,
Not that I don't want to stop, I do keep trying,
But then just as each time I try to do,
What my heart, my soul desires too,
I'm pulled back by a realisation that there's no point,
It's like forcing you to believe me at a gunpoint,
Because today you shall and a few tears shall be shed,
My life shall be mourned as if I'm dead,
And then you'd forget it all in a day or two,
As if nothing happened, nothing did anyone do,
My purpose wasn't to ask for self pity in return,
But sadly that's all I'll get, for each of my burn,
My problems my troubles won't teach you what I wanted,
The fears and the lessons that have for life had me haunted,
All you shall see is that I've been in pain,
And talking about all this is of no gain,
Because I was hurt by people just like those around you,
I asked, I yelled, I pleaded what wrong did I do,
But not a word did I ever get in reply,
No matter how hard I did try,
Those people still exist and so do their desires,
Some evidently bad and some hidden that you admire,
No one stops them from what they do,
And same as the past, in future shall continue,
Yesterday there was someone else today I'm there,
And tomorrow there will be another one exactly right here,
The same shall happen that's happened since forever,
Because to put an end to this we made no effort ever,
They hurt you, they harm you, in ways no-one can see,
They break you up into a million pieces, all internally,
But no one sees that because we don't bother to,
As if our job is to only condemn and vow to sue,
But in the end they all escape like they have always,
And it's exactly why I find no use of telling you all this,
I've suffered my part and so has my ancestor,
You leave those hounds loose till comes my successor,
Let's repeat history like it has been for years,
Let's flow those sympathetically fake tears,
Let's all stand up and say we're with you love,
Let's vow to spread positive vibes, peace and draw a few doves,
And then a week later you'll forget who I was,
And so will you forget what you fought for, my cause,
So I shall keep silent, I don't need your sympathy,
The useless, debatable, halfhearted empathy.

Balancing Deen and Duniya

We as the youth of the modern age are struggling between the battle of the ways of the ancestry and our adaptions from what we've learnt today. We fail to differentiate between what is wrong and where we go wrong with our excessive and extensive use of modern approach.

Where the world demands the right for all to express their opinion, it is also true that this freedom doesn't mean imposing our thoughts on someone.

Where the world demands the right for all to lead their lives as they will, it is also true that we can't overlook the impact of our actions upon others just for ourselves.

Where the world demands for us to move on with the constantly evolving society, it is also true that we shouldn't be leaving behind our basic values in this process.

Where the world demands for us to reach our goals and not give up, it is also true that it doesn't mean we may choose any path regardless of it even being that of evil.

Where it is true the world demands the right for others to not develop opinions about our characters or personalities, it is also true that we can't loose grip over the approaches about our acts that are socially or morally wrong, spread terror or hate, cause disturbance to others who maybe be going through a tough time or are crimes or sins.

All this and much more us just because of two main reasons. We have distanced ourselves from our religion, our faith, our Allah, all that guided us whenever we stumbled down the alleys that led us to obeying the devil. We have lost the will to think about anything and anyone more than just ourselves. It is high time we realise where we went wrong between balancing between the deen (religion) and the duniya (world).

Rethink 0002

When a journalist opposes 'Freedom of Speech', sigh.
Sorry sir you really shouldn't be concerned about where the youth is going, you should be concerned about what's happening to our media and journalism.

Rethink 0001

And those who judge the others to not be good Muslims, should wonder how much of a Muslim are they themselves. The actions of others will not decide your fate in the afterlife, your own will. Spread your religion like Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W) but don't mistreat or judge those who do not respond as you will, even the Prophet (S.A.W) himself didn't approve of this.

Rethink

Hey guys so I'm starting a series ' Rethink ' of short and crisp points we need to reanalyse both individually and as a society. I will be posting one each occasionally. Keep following.

Honour Killers, I Pity Your Honour

Honour killers, I pity your honour.
What a shame committing a sin is an honour for you and respecting your daughter's rights a burden.
Islam identifies punishments for adultery, not for the fact that you disagree with your daughter's right to have a choice in who she marries.
Even Islam doesn't allow a marriage to be conducted without a woman's will. And you either force her to marry a man of your choice or murder her for marrying the man of her choice. Her marrying without your consent is wrong because Islam demands a girl's father to be present in the marriage unless he isn't in the mental condition to be able to understand anything. But that doesn't mean you use this as a tool that she married without your consent, even when she tried to seek permission from you and you denied her right to choose who she marries, without any logical reason. Fine don't let your daughter marry a man not fit for her, and by this I definitely don't mean the one you don't 'like'. But convince her into agreeing with you. By killing her you simply show how much of a good parent/relative were you for her.
And to the mothers who are involved in this act too. Are you a mother? Are you even a woman? Are you even a human?

Religious Extremism or Extremism Against Religions

A psycho has no religion, and his acts have no justification. Religions don't preach extremism and neither do extremists preach religions. Stop confusing the two to be effective at the same time. I am a Muslim and I am a human, and so both religiously and not I condemn attacks on humanity. No religion educates us to condemn what we believe is a sin, by committing another sin.

Exaggeration Abilities

Honestly not even astonished but at least highly agitated by our society's exaggeration abilities.

"Pakistan rehnay wali jaga naheen rahi", dude it's your choice if you don't want to live here and believe me I have no objections as to that, but common on don't the rest of us live here. I know things are a bit tough but how could you simply go on saying its not worth living at all?

"Pakistan ka kuch naheen ho sakta", did you try do something for it's betterment? Forget one person, are we as a whole trying to do something? I'm not even blaming you for anything, because believe me I don't think I'm the best citizen either but at least don't blame everyone if you aren't doing anything yourself. Things won't change on their own. I'm not asking you to raise a revolution, but next time you throw something out of your car remember not to blame Pakistan for it's pollution because you me and everyone else doing that is guilty, not the piece of land and the name Pakistan.

"Hamaray judicial system ka koi haal he naheen, judges lawyers sab corrupt hain", I don't disagree that a lot of people out their have seriously forgotten their job is to do justice but honestly who are we to blame an entire system completely if we're not ever honest with ourselves or the people we live with. Okay fine, I believe you maybe but then tell me why are you accusing the entire system for it? Is every single lawyer or judge corrupt, no? Then why are making everyone loose confidence over probably the very few people that are honest. Rather you're actually making them realise their honesty is worthless because they will be criticized under the name of this system, even if they're right. You're making them believe that if they have to be blamed otherwise too, then why not commit a crime and then get blamed.

"Hamaray politicians sab mutlabi hain", I agree with you, maybe most of them are just like what you say. But then who's giving them that chance. If each one of us was such a concerned citizen, it wouldn't so easy for them to manipulate us. They're wrong and they do wrong, but they're not alone in this. The people that work for them, aid them in fulfilling their motives are from amongst us.

"Hamari Army apna kaam toh karti naheen, mulk ka budget khaati aur haqumut peh qubza karna jaanti hai bus", really? Seriously? Did you just blame the entire army for this? Come on, corruption exists in every institution. I'm not saying it should and I'm not using that to justify the one that exists in the army. But take a moment and think about that solider who fights on the border for your safety. Think about that Major who hasn't met his mother since months and is away from his family when you aren't, he's there on duty to protect you. Think about that Colonel who just escaped death right before his eyes when the terrorist tried to blew him up right before he was going to meet his family after two years. Think about that Brigadier who just lost his life in an ambush and who's last thought was — I'm leaving, I'm leaving before I should but I have no regrets because I did this for my nation. Think about them and don't tell me they're paid for this because I know you wouldn't dare to put your life at risk even if you were paid. The courage that they gather to take up the job of ensuring your security can never be paid back. The dictators you talk about, tell me are they individuals or do they represent every single army personnel. You're a supporter of democracy, I have no objections because I too am. But can you blame the entire force for one man. The budgets you speak of. I'm sorry lad if you have no knowledge but dude that man's apartment or plot that your eyeing and blaming him for being corrupt, that man has paid all his life for this from his salary so when he retires his family isn't homeless. He's not as well educated as you are. He'll be jobless or receive minimal pay with the fact that he has no degree, unless he has his own ancestral property to help him start up a business, which isn't likely in most cases. The welfare projects of the army that you blame to be eating up government funds, those projects are designed for both civilians and army officers. It's actually quite astonishing how around the globe, most countries value their army the most, and you get up to blame all these people just for few corrupt ones.

This isn't the case for these institutions alone, it goes for many others too. You who speaks up against racism, tell me what is this? Have you not got the ability to understand that you cannot blame every single engineer, if the bridge next to your house collapsed. Not everyone built it, not everyone is at fault. Learn to identify who is wrong and who isn't. And an honest advice, start from yourself.
