Way-Out To Self Earned Troubles

Way-Out To Self Earned Troubles

Man is entitled to be the supreme creature as his superior mental capability owns a peculiar attribute in his inferior body. Deeds are executed in the light of perception thought-out in one’s mind based on sensational judgments. The mental supplement involving rational discourse is never brought into practice that enables man learn beyond the limits of superficial sensory perceptiveness. The sensory perception of man lies within a restricted limit; nevertheless his mental perceptiveness is boundless and is at par with excellence.   

Most of the problems, we encounter on daily accounts are associated with a flawed reception of the root causes of the quandary and flawed strategies leading to its proper solution. Consequently, the right course falls short, following efforts are exercised in the pursuit of superfluous and vague goals. Thus, we keep on oscillating between the issue and the disingenuous course leading to reprehensible solution.

One of the degenerative understandings, commonly witnessed is an objective view of the issues. It has always been effortless, holding someone else responsible for our erroneous deeds. We have all turned professionals in disowning the ill-consequences, some of our ill-strategized feat brings. We spare not, any opportunity to earn credits for other selfless undertakings; conversely, reluctant to own the responsibilities for their own fallacious accomplishment.

The aristocratic, despotic regimes and absolute rule instilled in most of Muslim countries whilst denying liberal democracy–the ruling class steers the fate of the nation, consequently the pages of history are filled with blunders individuals committed and the nation is left to reap for generations, which no one realizes.  

Muslims exert greater effort on preserving absolute religious dogmas, tradition without being contemplative to coincide it with demands of changing contemporary world. Religion has turned a collection of congested beliefs in which no timely and compatible interpretation stands permissible.  Religion anchored on dogmatic interpretation annuls creativity and innovation and unswervingly dictates the political and social arena of our daily undertakings – thus completely restraining advancements with changing world and grooming circumstances; the Muslim society therefore could not prosper to date. The conservative elements have always taken measures to curtail the collective success and prosperity of the society terming the innovative developments anti-religion. They have always struck at emotional nerve of their adherents; intellectually kept in dark, denied access to scholarly approach thus made an unnatural bond to the forged prescription.

We could not draw a clear distinctive line between licit and illicit deeds. The plague of narrow-mindedness has worst affected us to the level that our ill deeds are fortified to the height of truth and others good deeds appear forged to us. The poison of biased understanding injected into the bloodstream of society has maligned their moderate disposition to extreme one. Freedom of thought, providing a sound basis of intellectual progress is not only given the status of ill recognition but also un-Islamic.

There has ever been a wide chasm between thoughtful comprehension of obligation and veneration; in contemporary afghan society one finds verbal utility the other overshadowed by heedless inculcation. Virtues, earnest faith, superior deeds and heavenly rewards, only come via repeated veneration, is widely propagated, negating the underlying worth of dutifulness. The binding principles of duties of immense significance are deemed inferior whilst religious dogma and set ritual superior. This is the state of superiority complex and the society suffering superiority complex, never rise to prominence, unless turn realistic.

Inhabiting in constant state of denial is yet another problem overshadowing our collective wisdom. We advertently commit to disown the responsibilities for our committed and deliberate ill-deeds and mishaps instead bother not in shifting the responsibilities to another institution or official. Thus the guilt is neither fixed nor is guilty brought to book.

Many problems in the third world countries are associated with flawed or delayed fixation of responsibilities; the culprit either escape owning the unlawful activity or keep on shifting the responsibilities from one to another stakeholder. Finally, no one is brought to book and hence justice delayed is justice denied. Particularly, when justice is to be exercised against a high profile person, then the anticipation of recovery and evenhandedness die its natural death. This intimate an extreme demonstration of sanity, dutifulness and own responsibilities for inappropriate unintentional deeds. It is a moral transferring act that may aspire our leaders! It is high time; the public office bearing individuals in this piece land learn the height of the impartial and rational extension of responsibilities.

Another pivotal problem –the fallacious and social structure enrooted on an erroneous classification system supporting proprietors, feudal lords and ruling elites. A superior ethno-political elite ruling for generations draws economic and political privileges. The lower class or ethnic groups are denied access to fundamental rights and necessities of life.

The system directly supporting, promoting and protecting injustices seem unlikely to extend space to talent, competence, capabilities, as an alternative recommendation, inducement and influential financial status help earning preferential societal position. Nonetheless, the whole functionaries of the flawed system escape apprehension –they are subjugated to practiced system not the constitutional provision because of despotic brought up. It is imperative that constitutional safeguard is provided to hapless citizens seeking justices over authority and power abusers.

The injustices cracking the socio-political fabric of society and widen the societal divide across ethnic lines, must be curtailed. The politically under-privileged ethnic group rendered vulnerable with increasing the sense of insecurity and should be given in confidence. May the custodians of illusive slogans come forth to fight against all these social evils, injustices, biases and human rights violation? The recklessness multiplied our impediments and thoughtfulness offers a permanent a way out to it.

It should be underlined that a sustainable triumph with continuous and unending effort, encompassing a dynamic mechanism, pursuing a workable strategy seems plausible and workable. Problems and crisis are the integral part of every society, as long as a pragmatic solution is not working out. We own potentials of averting their disgruntled fate by exercising rational deeds following due course of actions.
