Food for Thought Thread

A couple of days ago I saw this picture and it made me think about this the whole day.

I can’t imagine how the monkey must’ve felt when he saw his child suffering.

In my opinion, this picture has captured the moment perfectly.



Share your such kind of thoughts on this thread!

Terrible.

I guess one could say this is happening to humans around the world too.

True.

You can see this too when you go to hospitals.

At one end there is the beginning of life which brings joy to many people of the new-born one.

And at the other end there is the ending of life which brings sadness and grief to the close ones of the departed soul.

The reality of life.

We are living in a time where Trump, Boris and Imran are leaders of their respective countries. This isn’t a comedy movie; it is real life, and the end is near.

Mamoon,

I have yet to see you praise anything about Pakistan, its people, leadership, anything matter of fact. If you look at modern day Pakistan, I can agree with your sentiment that the country as a whole has been one big failure, however, I still cant understand why you have an extra gear as far as pessimism goes ? Surely there is a side in you that must feel, there can be light at the end of the tunnel for Pakistan ? No one can be 100 percent negative..

True. Have to agree about the end is near.

The world is reaching it’s maximum height of hate, war-mongering and carelessness.

I don’t believe there is light at the end of a tunnel because our mentality is rotten to the core. It is the outcome of 72 years of perpetual, self-serving propaganda by the establishment.

As a nation, we are deluded, aggressive, irrational, hypocritical, play the victim card at the drop of a hat and never take accountability of our own failures. I firmly believe that Pakistan is solely responsible for all the geopolitical conflicts and instability in the subcontinent/South Asia.

Our establishment has maintained hostile relations with India and used Kashmir as a tool to exercise power in Pakistan, we alienated the eastern half of the country because of our blatant discrimination and human rights violation (far worse than what India has done in J&K) and we have destroyed the social fabric of Afghanistan for USD.

And yet, the average Pakistani thinks that we are a nation of saints and angels who has been held back because of our “enemies” who cannot see Pakistan prosper. They have been programmed into believing that Pakistan’s problems are not self-inflicted.

Our problems are ideological and it is not a matter of who comes into power. That is why unless there is a major shift in our ideology, which won’t happen for obvious reasons, I don’t see any light at the end of the tunnel.
