“WHY ME…?” OR “WHY NOT ME?”

Giving a thought to this topic has given me the strength to confess.

I CONFESS THAT I HAVE FAILED, MOST OF THE TIMES, IN REALISING THE MEANING OF THE TITLE ABOVE. SOME YEARS AGO A SOCIAL RESEARCH/ SURVAY DEPICTED THAT THE MOST COMMENLY USED WORD IN THE WORLD WAS “I”. I WANT THIS…; I WISH THAT…, I AM…, I THOUGHT…, MY…, MINE… AND MANY MORE ARE COMMON IN OUR DAILY SPEECH. IF WE JUST COUNT FOR ONE DAY HOW MANY TIMES WE UTTER THIS WORD WE SHALL BE ASTONISHED. JUST GIVE IT A TRY AND YOU WILL FIND THE TRUTH BEHIND IT…
BUT WHAT AM I ADVOCATING?
IS IT ONLY THE QUESTION OF USE OF “I” OR IT HAS SOME OTHER SYMBOLIC ASPECTS…
IT IS PROVING DIFFICULT FOR ME TO EXPRESS WHAT I WANT TO SAY SO PLEASE BEAR WITH ME IF THERE COME ANY AMBIGUOS THOUGHT DIRECT ON THE PAGE.
THIS FREQUENT USE OF “I” HAS MADE MOST OF US SELF CENTRED; A CULTURE OF SELFISH AND RUTHLESS BEHAVIOUR IS PREVAILING. THERE IS SOME THING EVEN MORE DANGEROUS THAN THIS. WHEN ONE FACES A CRISES OR A LOSS ONE CURSES ALL THE THINGS AROUND FOR THAT LOSS EXCEPT ONESELF. ONE WOULD EVEN CURSE THOSE WHO HAVE ACHIEVED SUCCESS IN LIFE… THIS IS COMMON SCENE IN THE SOCIETY OF WHICH WE ARE A PART. THIS IS ALL BECAUSE “I” HAS BEEN SCENE ONLY FROM ONE ANGLE GENERALY, UNIVERSALLY. WE ALL HAVE SCENE IT FROM THE SIDE WHERE WE STAND; THE OTHER SIDE IS ALWAYS SHADOWED.
CURSING OTHERS FOR WHAT “I” HAS LOST, OR / AND WHAT “I” HAVE NEVER GAINED, EVEN CURSIN OTHERS FOR WHAT THEY HAVE GAINED, And ALWAYS SAYING “WHY ME..........?”
BEING RESPONSIBLE, EDUCATED, POSITIVE AND PROGRESSIVE PART OF “MY” COMMUNITY “I” WISHS TO ADVOCATE AND “I” MUST; IF SOME ONE HAS REACHED GLORY OR ACHIEVED SUCCESS WHY CAN’T “I” DO THAT, WHY SHOULDN’T “I” SAY “I” CAN ALSO DO IT IF “I” TRY IT… SO WHY NOT THAT WE TAKE IT AS “WHY NOT ME…….?”

SO AM I... DEMOCRATIC

THOUGH IT IS NOT MATTER OF ANY DEBATE BUT I WISH TO PUBLISH THE COMMENT OF THE FRIEND (HE MADE THIS COMENT ON E MAIL) WHO'S REFERENCE I MADE IN THE "DREAMS". I WANT TO DO IT BECAUSE I HAVE GREAT REGARD FOR HIM AND HIGHLY RESPECT HIS OPENION. SO HERE IS HIS COMMENT.
"Somewhere I read, something like, the people who make their way in life are the people who get on with life and look for opportunities and if cannot find them, make them and I believe that when something is pursued with utmost devotion success is bound to come in one way or the other, sooner or later. Being optimist about something is not only good but necessary if you really want to taste the fruit of success, but when you are living in a country like Pakistan you have to be reasonably realist in approach as well, I read a quote about optimism and remember it for a day like this, it says “The real optimist is the person who while falling from the Eiffel tower says, See I am still alive.” Being an optimist blindly without realizing the ground realities may pay no buck. And it does not count what you dream, what counts is whether or not you have the circumstances to translate into reality what you dream about. As for your dream, I have must tell you that whereas it surely isn’t impossible but as I see it, in the current situation it is a very time taking task, these are your formative years I would rather suggest investing your time in more constructive works, perhaps the clouds will get thin with time and you’ll find the opportunity to work on this project ‘properly’, and what you see as a loss of spark is not right, if I seem helpless for your project it is because I have no idea how to guide you on the road of what you have made your destiny when I myself haven’t been on this road. And to refer the lines from the Alchemist, the dunes are changed by the wind but the desert never changes, I am what I am only little changes appear depending upon which way the wind blows. And for Heaven’s sake do not bring the Chief Justice here, it was all politics mostly, and politics you know is a dirty game with no rules and umpire so any result can be expected. Whereas, to may it doesn’t make much sense what I say, I hope you can somewhat follow what I’ve said, and yet disagreeing is always welcome I have a democratic spirit.
