Re: Poor mindset
ghareeb log
I think the psyche that dominates our society is not to be content on what you have. It now revolves around to get more and more by hook or crook. Being poor and content seems an attitude from Alif Leela stories, as now people have been made to pass their lives on funds and schemes like Benazir Income Support, etc.
I’ve received many messages saying your CNIC have been selected and you can get fund of Rs this and that under that scheme. PPP before last elections, distributed funds in their constituencies by obtaining copies of CNICs. I never gave any copy of my CNIC to such people, but still…
During 2008 floods, aid was obtained by well off people that include food, blankets, etc. People used to live in camps portraying themselves poor. Under all these scenarios, I don’t think that we have an attitude that is mentioned in OP.
agreed, and this is the biggest reasons of spread in diseases like hyper tension. Now if a neighbour buys something new, demands will start appearing in your house disregarding the fact that you can afford things or not. We have started living beyond our means.
