I feel, our people; Pakistan, India, Bengal do not participate in international gatherings. Guys, chill out. You got to dive in to taste the love of international community.
This is an original blog. Seriously, I am tired of people speaking soberly, wearing butterfly napkins and saving the noise of their heels. Get a life people. Grow up. Act original.
I feel comfortable talking to people who are humble. To be honest, book readers, more fans, difficult words, 24/7 artificial smile and sober dress is not humble. It is weird and illogical.
We asians, speak broken english, wear broken sandals, walk wearing stripped vests, have hairy chests and disgusting teeth. But this is what we are; original, humble and poor.
Let us discuss advantages of being original.
- Act humble without getting weird looks
- Less money is fine for you
1 — Act humble without getting weird looks
Excessive money, sobriety and discipline paves in new norms. Insane adventures start wearing off. Good words start winning attention. Education is considered a criteria to give value.
With discipline comes the perks. And people without discipline are not considered worth the time, attention or help.
But in areas of no development, where traditions are not moulded due to ingress of better health services, broader roads and stronger economy, poor are still managing to find a respectful living. Their tarnished clothes are not impacting their lifestyle. And their humility is not causing them any guilt.
People in rural areas feel comfortable in their home towns. Their home grown school mates are still sitting beside them. Their bad habits are still considered entertaining. And their poverty is still considered their honour.
Do not migrate to a 1st world country if you are poor and you are happy with it.
2 — Less money is fine for you
Most among us migrate, to earn more. First opportunity popping up to take us to America, is normally considered a gateway to heaven. We fall a prey to glittering gold. And we make the biggest mistake of our lives.
Friends, our bad policies, broken judiciary systems and ugly floors are better than somebody’s else’s home. You do not need money. You are used to poverty. You need respect. You are not used to humility. Stop, if you are thinking of migrating to somebody’s else’s home.
People of west specifically, are modern, well educated and sober. They have better norms and etiquettes. They will beat you sitting on the dining table. Or they will beat you on the road with no horns. Or they will smash you with their eternal cleanliness.
You, the Pakistani, Bengali or Indian, are happy in your home. You do not need to clean somebody’s else’s home to feed your children.
Conclusion
I have been interacting with people outside Pakistan. People with better education systems, hospitals and homes have a false sense of pride [I feel]. And, I feel, people of our countries have a false sense of guilt. Believe me, you are original, good and beautiful as you are.
The colour of the skin, curvy collar bones and grey hair does not elevate anyone in this world over you. You are good enough to sit, stand, write and speak, standing shoulder to shoulder with another brother from the West.
As you lose your originality, you lose our charisma, style and grace. Your life’s values start falling apart. Be you, the son of a farmer, eating with dirty hands and sleeping wearing your stripped vest. This way, you will find more respect, more freedom and more love, from the whole world.
Unity brings success.
