Hope is something that can keep persisting through this change in weather
ISLAMABAD: The current spell of rains in Islamabad may prolong the cold spell and risk of sickness for the weak and vulnerable. But at the same time, it is great news for farmers as it helps their crops. This rain is also good for reducing the smog and clearing out the atmosphere for the arrival of spring season when the weather turns warm, flowers bloom, fields become green and people start feeling the warmth of the turning weather. Maybe the coming spring will not reduce the inflation or reduce the burden that the people are buried under, rather it will bring relief in terms of milder temperatures and beautiful weather that everyone loves. Hope is something that can keep persisting through this change in weather. It can help them fend off the bad impact of stress and keep them striving during hard times. I hope and pray that God gives us hope and strength to pass through these testing times and we see the day when things change for a better Pakistan.
