Majority of the Pakistani public are deprived of pride of performance. Feudalism has eroded the spirits of performing duties gleefully and punctually. Class-conscious feudal mentality, which detests working, has permeated from crown to foot in all the institutions of the state. Therefore, mainstream of the people, especially in the government sector, consider working irksome and a load instead of duty. They escape from liabilities while harvesting maximum fruits by using their influence.
The government officials gladly spend their lavish time in hatching conspiracies against their colleagues and blowing their wads in arranging bean feasts for the big cheeses to appease them to get their undue favor in promotion and transfer matters. The bureaucrats have trammeled themselves to sign files, most of the times without reading and understanding. Due to this unending hibernating approach of keeping things ticking over at a snail's pace, the bureaucratic red tape has been hampering the tempo of the country's progress at a rapid pace.
The habit of idleness has been ruining the sense of fortitude in the lazy-bones. It is acting as blight in our society by generating vicious ideas in the minds of its victims. Therefore, it is rightly said that an idle mind is the devil's workshop. Most of the unemployed youth are moving from pillar to post in search of jobs. When the literate people do not get employment on merit after tramping the streets or fail to qualify a competitive examination, they greatly frustrated. They become evil geniuses and indulge in unlawful activities. Therefore, the whole nation is bearing the brunt of rising tide of crimes. Those who expect from such tore apart people taut with anger and victimized by partiality and prejudice, to do any constructive work are living in a fool's paradise.
The hotshot policy makers are perpetually slaughtering meritocracy. About 11,000 candidates appeared in the PMS examination conducted in Nov-Dec 2006.Almost all the question papers were trickled out for those born in the purple before the written test. Due to frequent leaking out of papers the reputation of PPSC is in tatters. It announced 232 vacancies while it telescoped only a throng of 144 candidates, who passed the theory of this cutthroat competitive assessment. Despite the availability of additional vacancies, even some candidates who qualified all the papers but failed to touch the aggregate of 300 by only trifle marks could not fall in the category of triumphant ones.
On this gross social injustice neither the building of the Supreme Court trembled nor its powerful pen swished to take sou motto notice to declare the unfair examination null and void. Neither the earth would rupture apart nor the heaven would fall if the pertinent authorities would re-conduct the examination transparently by learning from their previous mistakes. The authorities provided a wooly argument to cover the wide loopholes in the exam conducting body that the tuition academies guessed the question papers. What a 100% guess in which there was not a difference of comma from the original question papers?
This bias has breed a strong faith in the public to pull off victory by hook or by crook. Is it possible for the bimbos, who accomplish success by using under the table means, to perform their duties fervently and honestly? They remain ensnared by their aspirations to retrieve their money after joining the post, which they lavishly paid to get the question papers before the commencement of the examination? The thwarted queer baits suffering from the exasperation of mounting tension of letdown in their carrier, which is considered stigma in our feudal society, fail to carry out their national duties faithfully in any other arena.
This disgusting social discrimination of favoring the inept children of the cream of the crop, already having an edge over the unfortunate ones, in all walks of life has tore the nation apart into social categories on the basis of wealth and power. The well heeled pooh bah and those skating on their uppers never informally encounters each other throughout their lives to understand their mutual problems. Is it feasible for cashed up high monkey-monks traveling in high-toned luxurious Mercedes and BMWs, and residing in spectacular Bungalows to understand the tribulations of those not having a pot to pee in?
Bertrand Russell in his masterpiece “The Conquest of Happiness” said, “Success is only one ingredient for happiness but it is too dearly purchased.” It is truly said that those who achieve their goal lose their enthusiasm to perform further duties. Success in terms of material resources has become the sole criteria of respect and aim of life in our capitalistic inspired society. Therefore, every thing has been stapled with pecuniary means. Even education without productivity is considered futile. The present man has reduced himself to physical being while totally neglecting his spiritual aspect. Moral values and ethical principles are indispensable to work passionately and considerately with a unitary approach by imbibing high spirit of fraternity and nationalism, but ironically these values have been thrown to the backburner.
