The Cryogenic State of Pakistan

By Muhammad Badar Arshi

There is hardly any example found in the world that a nation setting aside its millions of brains, constantly making awful and destructive choices and then attribute the results to the destiny.

What dreadful options our leadership as well as masses have opted at critical junctures that a loving appearance of a country is converted into a destructive and sinister outlook!

A nation with sleeping cogitate, which has accepted the demise of its self-esteem is itself responsible for all the miseries and disgrace it is facing.

With frozen minds as a “cryogenic nation” is there any hope for us to be prosperous, happy and dignified at some point of time, with the sliding of economy and institutional collapse, while the ruling elite is on the fast pace mission of stacking the wealth?

As a sightless nation we have always helped the “Excellencies Tormentor Hypos” to come into power to rule us and enhance our miseries and pains on one hand and multiply their pleasures and gains on the other.

As we are touching the ebb of demoralization and affected by acute inferiority syndrome, compromising our self esteem as a nation, a blanket permission is given to the occupiers of government to use nations’ wealth and resources on themselves to build up their empires and secure their future genealogies and bloodlines and treat its people like a piece of “a four letter word”.

Our nation is on sale at the “Pawnshop of US” at a wholesale rate while we are still worshipping these personalities with our unconditional and unquestionable loyalties to them. We never stop bowing them; never stop selling the future of nation in their hands, giving them ovations on their emotionally charged, uncouth and heathenish style of speeches.

Why as a nation at mass level we had totally infertile brains and impotent wisdom?

The answer is not a simple one. There is a technique which an animal trainer applies to tame animals and make them dance to their tune, is to keep them hungry to a certain length of time and then click the clicker and gives them a feed; this is called the clicker technique based on behavioural psychology that relies on marking desirable behaviour and rewarding it.

Continuous hunger and lack of food after a certain period is unbearable to the extent that the subject is prepared to do anything from losing self respect to accept the slavery. On human level, the (inhuman) occupant ruling elite throughout the entire history keep their complete control over the sources of Pabulum (rizk) using the atrocities and power and enjoy the game of clicker with their subjects.

The hunger and poverty leads to criminalizing the society, increase suicides and even compel the people to put up their faith (Imaan) on sale. The continuous and long slavery makes the minds of the nations’ defeatist and awe stricken, fearful of their masters and are ready to compromise their continence and honour or lest they may even lose the crumbs that they are at least getting when the clicker clicks.

Holy Quran in very strong words says, “the people who do not cogitate and use wisdom are not human beings but animalized, they have hearts they do not understand with, and eyes they do not see with, and ears they do not hear with, these are like livestock; in fact they are even further off the track, they are so heedless! fit to be in the “inferno”. (Chapter 7 verse 179).

To further ensure the annihilation of public consciousness the second noxious arrangement is to keep people away from education and literacy.

Despite of all the above doom and gloom, something unusual is happening this time as the people of the country are noticing for the first time a revolutionized sense in the corpus of the nation. The change seems “IMMINENT” and clear signs of “REVIVED WILL” to alter the course of events are evident as the “clicker” is dying slowly.

A nation with a great potential and abundance human and natural resources is in the process of re-warming of its frozen cogitate. Signs are clear and loud that time has arrived to bring back the nation from the cryogenic state to resuscitation.

We only need to rise above the emotions and use our God gifted wisdom to take the right decision when time arrives so that our coming generations have dignified future.
