Tweet tweets. Our public figures sure do like to use them.
Sadly, their tweets will be lost in the annals of history. Only the good deeds survives, leading the people to better their lives is what makes a leader. Talk is cheap, anyway. If (and that is a very big if) Pakistan realizes its potential, and develops into a modern country in the next few decades all these clowns will become a footnote.
These jageerdars, wadaras, generals, 2-bit politicians, their 1-bit spawns, and 0 degree lotas. 50 years down they will be forgotten like a random burp while drinking a diet soda. Same goes for (though on a relatively smaller scale) corrupt industrialists, greedy bureaucrats, ugly religious fanatics, and pathetic media. They will be nothing but a sad little footnote in history, just like few remember people from four, five decades. But for that to happen we’ll need to wait a bit for the dust to settle.
This is but a storm before the calm.
There is a new layer of Pakistan waiting to surface, and it’s a 100 million strong. Yes, I am talking about the new generation. A lot of them are nothing like their good-for-nothing-stuck-in-the-past forbearers. There are just a few bad eggs in the youth, but just a few - the rest of the crate is spanking good.
Surely enough, we do need to protect them and their minds from the turds listed above. But for the most part, they will be an evolved generation, one that will take their rightful place on the world stage. And technology will play a large part in it. Mark my words. Quote me on this. Media, internet, social media, mobile communication, connectivity with the rest of the world, are all catalysts of change. At least, they’ll be nothing like most (not all) of the current generation bozos. Even if a kid who studies up to the 10th grade in a village, has the potential to be different than their illiterate parents.
The days of these Bilawals, Bakhtawars, Musa, Chusa, Moanas, Hamza, wagera wagera are numbered. If not the next decade, then the one after that. They’ll be done and dusted. This has happened the world over, nothing new. Those who can’t deliver, aren’t fit to lead, will not lead. But for that we need to survive as a nation, as one nation these next few years. I still have hope, and it’s growing stronger every passing minute!
There is a silent paradigm shift going on, and luckily (or unluckily) not many know about it.
FACT.
