Re: I don’t want my kids growing up in Pakistan…
I can relate to that too. At times I come across people claiming how Pakistan is undergoing some sort of ‘azaab’ or something. I mean even if it was, these people *itch about this every third day and that is unbecoming of people who hail from the country. Many people say such things because of their own interests, or to satisfy what’s on their minds.
The other day I heard a friend say that so I decided to dig into why she said that because she was primarily raised outside Pakistan. Turns out she is an Ahmedi and her parents instilled a lot of hate into her mind when she was growing up as if the entire nation was some kind of Ahmedi persecutor and what’s happening now according to her is the result of the persecution of her people.
This other friend of mine, who I know is deeply religious continues to whine about Pakistan and how it is such a bad place to raise kids because knowing him, he tried very hard to go back to Pakistan a while ago but his wife and kids refused (understandably so because they were born and raised here and he cant just make an abrupt decision). Now he finds some sort of solace in making Pakistan this despicable place to raise kids in order to soothe his bruised ego.
There is nothing wrong with living inside or outside of Pakistan. To each their own thing, but at least stop belittling each other as to who is living a better life and all.
