Decent background

A decent family has…

1)** Education:** Like some families where almost all the siblings, parents and their siblings are highly educated doctors, lawyers, engineers, economists, bankers, professors etc.

2)** Wealth:** Not a crucial part of decency, but families with the afore-mentioned educational backgrounds are usually financially sound (upper middle class)

3. ** Values: **They need to have good moral values reflected through actions. They are usually religious in actions, but liberal in thought (accomodating). Lending a helping hand to friends and family, doing public or community service, working for causes, treating their servants nicely etc.

4. **Legacy: ** The family name also counts as in the great imprint of character and moral values their elders left while being in positions of power.

Having said that, I still think an individual’s decency can sometimes surpass all these background requirements. Some people may belong to very decent families and yet not be decent, others may not belong to decent families at all, and yet be very decent.

If this is your definition of decency, man are you missing out on some great people. Ok, #2 I agree with.

But legacy and wealth?? Give me a break. Some of the biggest jerks come from the biggest name and wealthiest families of Pakistan.

Take Mr. Zardari for example.

Great name, great legacy, great wealth.

And he is a murderer, and plunderer.
