Education

There is a big difference between being literate and being educated. Today, our problem is "Education".
I have seen many people being literate, but unfortunately, not at all educated. And its too late to educate them too. They are used to of their habits and disregard anything that they think is not within their belief systems. They can not distinguish between the right and wrong and simply follow their minds. Such people overlook the greater good and focus only on their immediate future and pay no attention to long term needs and necessities. I think therefore, we should focus on our youth and make them not just literate but educated as well. Criticizingly somebody is very easy but when it comes to actually doing something, majority of us steps back !
Society is NOT created by government. BUT by each and every INDIVIDUAL present in it. Society is the combination of all institutions combined, including political, family, recreational and religious institutions. We think for our careers,our families, our bank balance...but forgets the most important thing, our identity, our country, that is Pakistan.
Every single person have to understand this and have to contribute something to the society we live in and make the youth educated and aware. We all have to act in some way or the other so that Pakistan can have some actual progress. Small acts CAN make a difference.
Educating ourselves and the people around us is the solution to make people realize the difference between happiness AND contentment of heart and peace of mind. And indeed, it is the solution of the current crisis that our country is engulfed in.
So how can we educate ourselves? By opening and broadening our thoughts and views to approach, and annalyse things thoroughly. By viewing things from all angles and then setting judgement. And By reading and by listening to others.
Our another problem is that we dont listen. We think that what we have to say is the most important thing and is correct. We neither listen to others nor accepts their point of view,because we are totally absorbed in our own perceptions!
Again, the main point is EDUCATION.
May we get the will to act and make a difference !
