Let us therefore make every effort to do what leads to justice, peace and prosperity in this society
ISLAMABAD: For a vast majority of people in this society of ours, lamentably, the prime objective of life is eating and drinking, not righteousness, peace and collective happiness. The psyche of this sort of people is not to improve the whole of human existence. They do not rebuild or repair the worst in the society, the state and its organisations. This sort of people, if they are in power and position, they foster injustice and organised corruption in the society. Indeed, the vast majority of people also need examples and guidance on how to live a meaningful and joyful life, shun injustice and discrimination and let people live like human fellows in the society. Albert Camus said, “Why one should not commit suicide?”
A society like ours where injustice in all its forms and manifestations thrives, their victims, helpless or source less, are left with no option but to commit suicides or take law into their own hands. Let us therefore make every effort to do what leads to justice, peace and prosperity in this society.
