You are visionary enough to leave Pakistan because you get paid peanuts for your services in this country while you paid peanuts for becoming a Doctor in this country. Why are you bothering about this country and its people now ? Dont let your emotions make u feel for Pakistan.
I am not bothered at all.
Which is why I have no intention of returning.
Such emotional attachments are for fools, who somehow believe that making an attachment with Pakistan is a sign of patriotism or living in it is the height of patriotism.
I see what's best for my family and my baby daughter and a random post or a poster on the internet is not going to make me feel upset or bad about my contribution to my country or lack of thereof.
But I worry where Pakistan is headed and what direction the people are headed. We have enough troubles on our own end, and now the ego issue of Kashmir is just that. An ego. An ego which makes you feel you can't get rid of that region or somehow moving out will let India win.
Listen, I am realistic.
Instead of panicking over my post or Mamoon's for that matter, do you have any viable solution for the Kashmir issue in the next 5 years?
You know what? I'll give you 10 years.
But if you are going to tell me Pakistan will continue to support Kashmir by keeping its troops there, we will also continue to support Kashmir verbally and doing Self-Jihad and in retribution India will keep its troops there and keep killing people, we are status quo.
So how long will you continue to keep our country in a miserable plight because of your jingoistic sense of self-vindication?
Because the way I see it, India is not ceding the territory for the next 50 more years? Do we invest more blood, economy, burden on the taxpayers of this country to chase a false reality? A mirage? Something we will never get or attain?
Let me be very honest here.
I only humored you out of the so many posts because you had the gall and the audacity to decide patriotism based on where people live or what they do but you have/had no idea at all how my loyalties are and where they lie.
And for your reference, I don't hide behind the façade of pretentious people who speak a few words, get a few claps ,claim they are patriotic and everyone laughs and forgets about the incident.
I don't care about Pakistan at the moment, because my family is more important, but I do care about the country that gave me the passport because that is, unfortunately, my identity at the moment (albeit to the point of a back-burner issue).
I hope the people of my country one day have the ability to love, to respect and to gain trust of many other countries and they are considered seriously in the comity of nations. I hope they hold tight to the religion Islam, and I hope they make decisions based in Islamic interest. I hope they lessen the hunger and war in the world and in the surrounding regions of their own country by focusing on the core realities.
I really hope one day my country can be different to the nonsense and stubborn attitude of "Kashmir is part of Pakistan" and "Kashmir is Part of India" type of people and can grow up to make a difference.
If I am no visionary, I hope my daughter can be.
And that's that.
