Tarazu Ke Palre
What we hear with our ears and see with our eyes can sometimes prove to be wrong. This is because, in certain situations, we only want to see and hear what we prefer.
These feelings are present in all of us, including me. We are human, and as strong as humans can be, they are equally weak. On one hand, humans can carve canals through mountains, reach the moon, harness the wind for their benefit, and measure the depths of the ocean.
On the other hand, the same human can become a toy in the hands of their psychological weaknesses, unable to overcome their own flaws. This means that within a person’s character, both strength and weakness coexist, and it is essential to maintain a balance between them.
This balance, bestowed upon us by the Almighty, constantly reminds us of our limitations. When this balance is disrupted, a person either becomes a tyrant or falls into oblivion.
Look at both the elite and the common people of Pakistan. Among our powerful individuals and elite, many are intelligent, courageous, and capable. They possess the ability and courage to change the fate of the masses. However, their human weaknesses often hinder them. They cannot overcome flattery, ego, and, in some situations, selfishness.
They do not nurture alternatives to themselves. They are unwilling to give way to others.
Once they attain a position, these individuals stop listening with their ears and seeing with their eyes. They cannot tolerate criticism, and they prefer the melodious tunes of praise.
The balance starts to deteriorate. One side begins to tilt. The intelligence and experience that were meant to serve the welfare of Allah’s creation start to get lost in the dark alleys of nepotism. The process of this experience being reduced to dust begins. However, their eyes remain blind to it, and their ears go deaf.
The burden and inclination of the scale increase. The balance continues to falter. The mind sounds alarms of danger, but the heart continues to float in a sea of delusion.
According to the laws of nature, someone must maintain balance. Then, unseen hands come to restore the equilibrium of the scales, which is perceived as interference. We humans forget our shortcomings and begin to blame others.
This entire process does not occur just once; it plays out repeatedly. The spectators become weary, but those performing remain unsatisfied.
