WHERE We Are?
By: Sohail Zindani
From the time I have been able to understand the complex mechanism of my life and The Life as a whole, I have been constantly listening that the world is developing, that the entire universe is in progressive mode, that we are getting more and more civilized, and I surely hope that all of us would have being listening to this bogus speeches.
Well I am neither a person who dislike progress, nor one who hates to be civilized, the case with me is just that I simply don’t think so that we developed or advanced at all.
Here are few reasons that will Inshallah make you think as I do.
1- Patience: Our satisfaction level is the same as it was thousand years before. For e.g., Initially the messages were send through post which took months to reach its destinations. Now we have E-mails, telephone and many other tools through which the message is delivered within seconds. Haa! You people might see it as an achievement of human mind.
But now let me tell you the side of the mirror you people
usually avoid observing. That is when their was that old posting system
you were having patients to wait for the reply which took almost a month
or two, but now when there is just a minor problem in your internet server
or telephone line, which might delay your message for a minute or two,
you simply get raised and angry.
So Mr & Mrs Civilized, tell me that your patience level have developed or devastated?
2- Respect: To clearly elaborate, let me give you an example. You have to
analyze your self, what I am trying to say.
"there was a father and his son, initially no one used to smoke
and when the father tells his son that "smoking is harmful for
health" he replies as " JI ABA HUZUR". The time went onnn.
Now father does smoke and his son knows this thing, and so
Now when the father tells his son that "smoking is harmful for
Health, he replies as " HAAN BILKUL DADDY". The time went on.
Now by the grace of evil, both the father and his son use to
Smoke and when father tells his son that "smoking is harmful for
Health, he replies in a cool manner, " OH YEAH POPS"
Well, JI became HAAN which gradually came out to be YEAH .I wish you people are not calling this thing as getting civilized.
3- Fashion: When ADAM & HAWA came into this part of universe (earth),
They were naked and this nakedness was their dress and ultimately was the fashion. The time went on, the fashion changed, no fashion was to cover your body parts, and surely we named this fashion as a more civilized one. Its 21st Century now. I guess it should be more civilized one, but wait, let us observe the fashion, hey it is simply getting closer to the fashion that was their at the time of ADAM and HAWA, its just a meter cloth away.
Wow, how civilized, advanced, developed .. we are now !!!!!!!!
Well this was my personal observation. I would simply appreciate your response regarding my article. I am recently working on a book named
ME & MY ISLAM which will Inshallah get on air within a year.
