…with my super amazing opinion forming skills, I have come to the conclusion that if you are middle Middle Class and beyond in Pakistan then your father and mothers are corrupt and don’t practice what they preach. they are horrible folks. Why? Because corruption starts from them.
I’ll give you an example. A friends mamoo (a middle middle class man) was going back to Karachi from Chicago. The mamoo’s flight reached karachi at 1am. He was inconvenienced by the fact, and called his friend who was also a middle class police employee. After the mamoo spoke on the phone, he proudly announced, that his friend is sending two police men to escort him to his house since he is coming so late, and they will give him a ride to his house in an official police car. Also, his parked car at the airport would be driven by a third policeman to his house. I have heard people abusing PUBLIC things in pakistan for personal use but this was way too close for comfort.
I went home thinking that these three policemen could have been used for policing and patroling the city, but they were instead being used a favor for a friend. This kind of thing happens all the time and I have seen or heard it. But witnessing this was wayyyyy to close for comfort.
This country can’t go anywhere until your moms and dad’s learn to respect the country. Everyone is guilty of this. ** So the next time you see your parents, brother or anyone in your family doing something small like this, it’s still illegal. Stop them from doing it. It’ll be a start.**
I agree with you 99%( I just don’t agree with the middle class…the wealthy start the corruption IMHO- just look at zardari, musharrah, or any PM of pakistan!!! This kind of stuff starts from within…if we can just remind each of your own relatives to clean up after selves, even if it’s just as simple as telling your relatives not just throw trash on the streets of karachi, respectfully can show so much respect for Pakistan or even to Islam!
