Woes Of Those Who Care

"Bloody Pakistanis". I overheard my pakistani born american cousin curse at the top of his lungs when the electricity went out and his videogame shut down unsaved. That was my moment of epiphany.
No matter how excessively annoying the load-shedding may be, no matter how hulk-nature inducing WAPDA's inefficiency may be, it is not an excuse to cuss a country; least of all mine.
My epiphany was of multiple parts; but the one part that significantly sticks its head out in the window of my tiny mind is the question of why we've ended up the way we have, and what's the solution?
While I pondered over this for a bit; I wondered if it is the load-shedding that enrages us. But I would be naive to think it so. I would just be closing my eyes and ridding myself of the obligation to truly see, not make the answer disappear. And it would be slightly stupid. Because by now we would have killed each other, given the amount of load-shedding going on. There's something deeper.
Why is there load-shedding? Poor management of scarce resources. Who manages these resources? The governement. Who is the government? What is their job? Is good governance being carried out by the people governing us?
These questions need answers; and once they are answered perhaps we'll be able to work towards a progressive Pakistan.
The people governing us, were once the people we are now. They were not born in power. They got it. But they're not good enough anymore. They were one of us. They were a chunk of the public. They were, once, a normal pakistani. Then can we state, that if our youth is trained from the very beginning to work towards the betterment of the nation, we have a chance at a better Pakistan? Yes. I believe it is. The youth and it's empowerment is a solution; it is a ray of hope. It is a shot at the betterment of my country.

If our youth is taught to think and implement. If they are taught to deal with more than one issue at a time, if they are taught to come up with strategies to deal with situations, if they are empowered, then perhaps one day, we'll have a good leader.
Pakistan at this moment is falling down a bottomless pit of doom; politically, socially and economically. And I believe if our youth is trained to combat this falling of ours, we shall be a progressive Pakistan. I do believe that Youth Empowerment is the answer.

Given the current governing bodies and the current situation of Pakistan, we need change. And if these oldies, who are now no longer good enough (I refer to politicians) stay put then we are going nowhere. We need to urge the youth of Pakistan to become politically active and have them resolve issues. Ventures like YLC (Young Leaders Conference) are good ideas.

We do not have a solution to every problem; but we have ability to come up with resolves comprising slightly but never the less the least bad choice. We musn't give up. Let's think and implement. Think now, implement when we're incharge.
