    thanks a lot everyone.

    but the objective i have in mind,while initiating the thread on my own article was different.

    it was not meant for the appreciation of the article.

    i want you all to discuss the self centered behavior of people out here in our society.

    and how we can become less self centered ?

    aik humaray karnay se kiya hoga?

    hum koora sarak pe pheenk dein dosray bhi pheenk rahay hain aik humaray na pheenknay se kiy hoga?

    sabhi sifarish laga kay tarraqqi kar rahay hain aik humaray sifarash istemaal na karnay se kiya hoga?

    agar sub gharon mein bijli nahi tou kiya ...humaray ghar tou generator hay
    hum kion dhoop mein ja kay ihtijaaj karein?

    so on and so forth.
    this is the general Psyche of our people.
    what can we do about it ?
    how can we change this selfish mentality which is getting us down and down as a nation?
    maybe individuals are progressing but nation is not.
    just because of this selfish behavior .

    It is because of the system or rather the lack of system that make people be more self centered. They know for a fact that the state is NOT going to look after their needs/legal rights etc. and hence they have been accustomed to take the law or whatever in their own hands. F.ex. no queue culture, chaos in the traffic, bribery to get in front of the queue or bribery to make legal issues with illegal means - otherwise you wait until you become old and still issues will remain unsolved and many more.

    What is the solution?

    HAKUMAT HATAO - MULK BACHAO (aur apne aap ko bhi)!!!

    he he he
    acha mouzoo hay...

    i think , Scandinavian bhai sahi hay.
    asal mein logon kay self centered honay ki wajah yeh bhi hay kay hum log ko Govt ne akeela chorr diya hay.

    1. hum apnay ghar kay liye bijli khood paida kar rahay hain
    (generators, UPS , Kunda etc)

    2. hum apna paani khood la rahay hain.
    (tankers, mineral water gallons etc)

    3. hum apna ghar khud secure kar rahay hain
    ( security systems like ADT, security guards, blockers at the street ends with chanda money etc)

    iss liye ab Govt na humko pani, sehat , taleem ,bijli aur thaffuz de rahi hay na kabhi de gi..

    issi liye yaahan sub ko apni apni parr gaye hay.
    mera tera honaye laga hay.

    we does not share the resources by the state.
    we all have our own self generated resources.
    thats why we have became more and more selfish.

    kiya kehtay ho sub log?

    Very nice Beena.

    The reasons are market economy and increasingly materialistic economy as well as frustration.

    Market economy and increased materialism puts everyone in a race with every other person, as they say "survival of the fittest". This is what cause this "mein ka dhool"

    The more materialistic society the bigger mein kaa dhool.

    اب ہر چیز میں تو حکومت اور معاشرے کو الزام نہیں دینا چاہیے ہے. میرے خیال میں تو میں کا ڈھول انسان گھر سے پیٹنا شروع کرتا ہے . باہر کی بات تو بعد میں کریں. اگر غور کریں تو کتنے ہی خاندانی جھگڑوں کی وجہ "میں" ہوتی ہے . کتنے گھر ٹوٹ جاتے ہیں صرف اسس لئے کیوں کہ ایک عورت یا آدمی کو اپنی انا اپنے گھر کے افراد سے پیاری ہوتی ہے.
    چلو گھر بھی چھوڑو، انسان بعض اوقات اپنی ذات کا ، ایمان کا ، صحت کا ، مال کا نقصان صرف اس لئے کر جاتا ہے کیوں کہ کسی دوسرے سے حق بات قبول کرنا اس کی شان کے خلاف ہوتا ہے . اب اس میں حکمرانوں کا قصور تھوڑی نہ ہوا .

    Hi everyone,
    thanks a lot for the appreciative comments.
    but it was not meant for only comments on my article.
    as i don't want to beat the 'Mein ka dhol'...:):)

    anyways,Semirza, Xero,Scandinavian, choosy , LifeH20 Shagird,شاعرہ ,bsobaid and Bahar Begum.
    thanks a lot for your nice comments.

    yes we are becoming self centered. i agree with the view points of Scandinavian and choosy in this regard.

    and now the question is:
    how can we decrease this self centered behavior in our society?

    how can we decrease this self centered behavior in our society?

    Once social change begins, it cannot be reversed. You cannot minimize arrogance in the person who is already arrogant..... You can increase his arrogance/pride/ego whatever the fresh hell is that.... You can't decrease it.... It is natural..... See Quran for example

    oblivion,
    yes very true.
    one ,who has become arrogant,cant change his behavior.
    but can we do something about our upcoming generation ?

    can we expect out our next generation to be less selfish and more selfless and humble with its behavior?

    Thanks for response

    can we expect out our next generation to be less selfish and more selfless and humble with its behavior?

    How could that possible, when present generation is more selfish as compared to past generation. See, I give you simple example, suppose there are three generation
    (past generation)=x
    (present generation)=y
    (future generation)=z
    See, if "Y" is less selfish than "x", then you can say "z" will be less selfish to both of "x" and "y". But if you compare this equation with real world (i.e Pakistan society) you will see more selfishness in "y" as compared to "x" i hope you get the point.

    I admire your loyalty and devotion. See. Where past/present is filled with horror, Can you expect joy for future?. I see, newer generation are more selfish then the older ones. Can't you see it? In the good old times, our ancestors were more hospitable but future generations feel it burden. in the good old times-- people were more loving to each other but now, people are selfish, restricting themselves to machines/computers/mobiles/fresh hell. These people have attached themselves to materialism. So materialism increases selfishness/arrogance/pride/ego, nor decreases
    See, i said
    Once social change begins, it cannot be reversed.
    Beenai, Your loyalty and devotion can't change corrupted human nature. You can tell about cure but people have taken something else for cure. You can expect for joy, there is nothing wrong in expecting somthing,but you can't see your dreams to be true
    Take example of American society.....

    oblivion,
    yes, i totally understand and agree with your point.
    we cant expect new generation to be less selfish than us.

    but at least we can try so.
    many young members out here must be enjoying parenthood and they can start telling them about the basic values of care for everyone , which maybe starts from saying a 4 year baby girl that:

    dont have chocolate all alone, offer the sharing to uncle and aunt and others whoever present there.

    this small gesture can create a basic concept in her mind.

    that no individual can really enjoy at his /her own fully ,without sharing the same happiness with the loved ones around.

    Beenai sahiba,
    Thanks for giving the opportunity to share my viewpoint.

    While your article is based on satire, yet it reflects the prevailing trend in our society

    What dismays me is that we use “I” / “mein” at all wrong times for the wrong reasons, but never use it is when it shall be used specially in the following circumstances:

    a) When one really deserves to take the credit and is confident enough to take the credit without showing ego.

    b) When one deserves to own the mistake or the consequences of the mistake

    I am all for a person to take credit when it is due, and don’t consider it wrong at all. In fact in my opinion, if an accomplishment or good piece of work is appreciated, the creator / originator of the good work shall be:

    a) grateful in accepting the praise;

    b) acknowledging that “yes” he or she has done good work; and

    c) Be humble enough yet shall be proud enough of his or her accomplishment.

    Similarly if someone makes a mistake; whether big or small, then the person shall have the moral courage to own the mistake by saying yes "I" did it and I own my mistake`.

    @hypocrite,
    thanks for your comments.
    i 100% agree with you on the point that appreciation is necessary but on the other hand talking about own accomplishments all the time and degrading the accomplishments of others is not what should be there.

    yes, we do need to say "mein" when there is a mistake we have to take the responsibility of.

    but we are very poor at it.
    from individuals to Govts ,nobody says mein ,when it comes to taking the responsibility of blunders. for example:

    PMLN:
    atomic tests we did it
    Kargil failed adventure we never did it ,who did it ,who knows?

    PPP:
    Atomic power we did it .we initiate it.

    Dhaka Fall we never did it. who did it, who knows?

    MQM:
    flyovers ,bridges and all we did it
    bhatta khori we never did so.

    so on and so forth.
