Upholding values is only way to success

Pakistan is passing through a difficult time, as our country is

witnessing a dwindling economy, fragile system, lack of facilities with
no necessities and failure in education; one may think what are real
causes behind this whole mess. Lack of emphasis on modern
education, particularly on science and technology " are often cited as
the drivers behind our downfall. However, for some, the root cause
behind our decline is the degradation of values.

These neglected values including rampant corruption, widespread

dishonesty, sweeping nepotism, and prevalent intolerance that have
relapsed our country into the never-ceasing abyss.

Just imagine a corruption-free Pakistan, where billions of rupees come

back in treasury which often appear to be going into pockets of
unseen forces. With full treasury, there will be no worry of IMF, and
so the foreign intervention; we could freely invest heaps of money
into our education and infrastructure sectors. As a result of this,
education will blossom, the economy will see its new boom and
poverty from our country will take its last breaths.

Prevalent Nepotism is another cause that often contributes to our

downfall. Due to nepotism, oftentimes our skilled and talented young
people are neglected and ignored by the authorities. As a
consequence, those deserving people are forced to fly overseas,
where those countries utilize their expertise for their benefits. Such
practice deprives our country's education and other sectors from
skilled and talented students. Hence, progress in our country remains
a stalemate.

Finally, intolerance in our society has reached to a degree, where,

little disagreements in the perspectives often end up in squabbles and
quarrels. Rising intolerance curbs creative and valuable ideas to
unearth, as various groups within society remain adamant to tolerate
others' perspectives. Triumphal society comes into existence when
diverse notions are encouraged and compared. As Aristotle states "
to draw a meaningful conclusion, at least two premises are
necessary". Henceforth, it is imperative to build a tolerant and
inclusive Pakistani society, where everyone is embraced irrespective
of their caste, creed, and sect.

In nutshell, no society could progress even if it has booming science

and technology until it upholds the aforementioned values and
principles. Thus, it essential for both civil society and concerned
authorities to encourage those values and principles, so a progressive
and welfare society could be established.
