Who is the enemy?

Palace by Diogo Nunes

I was having a walk with my neighbour, Hamid, today in the morning. It was a good walk, a lively discussion. We saw bigger houses, modern sport facilities and dedicatedly built dining places. We also saw few smaller houses built for servants. Passed a grave yard and reminded ourselves, it is temporary, life is going to end soon, we all will disappear. Told each other, we will travel North, cook BBQ, some dives, rafting, climbing, will make videos and build a dedicated brand “the Tourist”. We will take people along and show them the unwavering beauty of Northern Pakistan.

It is not easy to celebrate our life the way we want to celebrate it. As soon as we share our beautifully built dreams, people ruin them. They put in suggestions, advises, safer ways and fears to let us know, our dreams are not good enough. Well, I know now, my dream and my brother’s Hamid dream, is good enough. It can not get better, impure or distorted with few suggestions. We therefore reached at a point, we need to identify our enemies.

Let’s start!

Peace by Aleksandr Ledogorov

The Jews in Israel are not our enemies. The Hindus in India are not our enemies. The Qadyanis and the Christians are not the people who are creating an imbalance in a perfectly balanced nature. These people are just that, people. Some of them are good. Some of them are not so good. But to be honest, they are not your enemy.

The big house round the corner, the great bold ranks, the decorated offices, lawns and courtyards. The people who are building these places are a fraction of our society. These people try to control most of our life. But inside, they are just that, small. They fear losing their hard earned reputation and they fear putting it all at risk. They fear celebrating life and they tell us our dreams are not good enough.

The problem begins

Direction by Nick Fewings

People who have accumulated good wealths, are not bad people. They have done hard work. They tried to stand out in their competitions. They proved their worth and finally made it to a place where they are given an easier chunk to live.

In the hard work, they lost the pure color, charisma and liveliness of their life. As they worked hard, they sidewise prepared a massive chunk of misery to look at. More they look at their hard work, more they feel fearful of losing its rewards thus more they act stupid. The rich people, who have been rewarded with a good rank, after hard work, hate the hard work and doesn’t want to relive any of their effort.

As they excel further, accumulate more, gather safety and win confidence. They become smaller inside. Each passing day, more shackles, chains and fear over runs them. Fears like; one more day of hard work will give them an extra 100. One more month of hard work will give them the next rank. In an effort of proving their worth, they accumulated only one thing, fear of losing it all. After a life time of hard work, I believe it is not a good trade off.

Becoming the Enemy

Box by Kelli McClintock

A person doesn’t want to lose his wealth. A person has become coward inside. Small and low. He slowly and gradually has been knocked down so hard, he doesn’t want to get back up on his feet. He doesn’t want the kids live riskier / play adventurous. He while building a safe heaven, enchained himself, locked his freedom up and threw away the keys in a dark place. He doesn’t want to live again.

The transformation, love for luxury, safety and further excelling, dulls down the over all personality. It creates a distorted human being. A person who is no more careful of his sub-ordinates. Some one who doesn’t fight for his people. A person who stops thinking out of the box. Becomes someone who is incapable of dining with his servants. Becomes incapacitated to build an equal size house for his subordinates. Becomes enchained to give up his wealth and fight for the poor in his people. He becomes, inhumane, ignorant and just that, a pride filled self righteous goon.

Fighting Him

Fight by Attentie Attentie

You want your dreams go pure? They are not distorted? They are kept complete? They are honoured and encouraged? You reach them sooner? You succeed and you feel fulfilled?

You fight. You do not fight the Christian of Britain, the Jew of Israel, the Hindu of India. You do not fight good people who feel bad about their poor. You find your spine, that stands un-shattered, un-nerving and un-backed, against your real enemy. The rich, the rank, the holder of the bigger house, the ruiner of poor’s luxury and the spoiler of your dream. Only after you fight your real enemy, you will make your Islam complete. You will be able to make your Prophet pride. And your Allah happy.

Only after, you stand for your poor, your broken, your hurt and your damaged people, you can bring back the lost balance in your society. Only after, you start speaking truth louder, blunt and to-the-point, you will manage to defeat these enemies. Only after, you stand straight, wide and high, you will keep your dreams protected.
