The menace of self righteousness is eroding the mutuality and tolerance of  already weakened and divided Pakistani society.We have to face this destructive attitude in every walk of life.Religion and politics are important to mention as they are directly linked with every individual.A self righteous individual is a severe threat to the peace of any society.Be it conservative,liberal or secular society. Shakespeare's delineation of Antonio as  self righteous and sanctimonious  person(through one perspective )who spits upon Shylock,calls him misbeliever and cut throat dog, shows the harms that self righteous men do.   Those societies where weaknesses(sins,evils and vices)of 'others'are magnified,are destined to destroy themselves.  It is better to be a humble sinner than a self righteous saint.

Sensitivity erodes the joyfullness of life.Happiness can't be touched sans certain sleep of mind .More often than not,People in possession of sensitivity lose the cheerfulness and blithesomeness of life,even when it's knocking at their door.😊 Abdul Muqset Awan

It was pretty foggy outside,I contemplated, i interpreted,I related; life is but a foggy path with innumerable twists and turns.Thou needeth a ''searchlight'' to overcome the the 'fogginess' Abdul Muqset Awan

Instead of posting the lofty words here,i would like to write few words on the occasion of new year celebrations. Let's try our best to curb all the dark elements prevailing in our land.Let's promote diversity and free thinking.Let's try to resurrect the book reading habit.Lets try to promote tolerance, peace and love among different segments of the society.Lets build an extremism-free Pakistan where the rights of minorities must be protected.Lets try to convert the social media into a more productive and peace spreading platform where foul language for dissenting voices must be avoided.LET'S try to travel the road that has not been chosen before,and it will make all the difference; it will lead us to a heavenly place. Abdul Muqset Awan

"Assent–and you're sane– Demur–you're straightway dangerous–and handled with a Chain–" Emily Dickinson Raising voice for the oppressed classes, condemning dictatorship and it's evils and fighting for the rights of non-muslim minorities wasn't an easy task in the rigid and self-righteous society.

It has become a tradition to criticise politicians; disgracing and humiliating them with the most inappropriate, unethical and abusive labels. It's fine, every individual is free to express and share what he experiences and feels, but why don't they criticise those who had been equally sharing the throne with politicians? Why don't they fulminate those who abrogated the constitution and torn us asunder through fanaticism? The best way,for a nation, to flourish is to break the fragile wall of illusions and realistically realise the weaknesses and vulnerabilities. Without Diagnosing disease how could one be cured?For those who shrug and believe it was only the past that should be burried now; Eugene O'Neill writes, "Past is present,isn't it? It's future too". Past will continue to haunt the present untill and unless the policy makers choose the road that has not been taken before( overhauling of old and outdated policies).

You manage to grab a seat, vote is sacred, will of the people prevails. It's the other way round, parliament is cursed and fulminated. Verbally you're right, practically you aren't. Actions— utmost struggle  to sit on the top of this cursed system—are what that make a difference. A politician, in most of the cases, is judged by the actions; Honour the parliament or else you'll be squeezed yet again.
