I'm writting this because I'm thinking about those people who move us in some certain way, even if it's on a really small scale. Like helping a poor man with charity, or looking after old people. Even people who act like whatever disabilities they have don't affect them. Well I had a concert at school, yesterday. And this boy, who is the only blind person at school, played this music on the keyboard. And he was really sweet and acted like nothing was bothering him. I don't feel sorry or sympathetic towards him, like other kids do. Like I won't be buying him pizza from the canteen or going out of my way to buy juice and talk to him about how he is feeling or how I think he wants to listen to what I want to say, because he's blind. I treat him like I treat everyone else, becuase I think that he'd rather have it that way. His name is Naqi. And I'd like him to play the keyboard, while I play the sitar. I'd like that alot. Pictures of Naqi on the keyboard, while Danish Gilani helps him out.
There are so many heroic people out there to be honest. People like doctors and charity workers and people who have overcome various obsticles in their lives, they're the real heroes in this world. Also those who you aspire to and admire like members of your favorite band etc. Just people who you can look at and say that they've done good things in their lives. It's exactly why stuff like ''god bless the armed forces'' makes me sick to my stomach. Where's the recognition for the real heroes in this world? That's only my opinion though and I don't wanna turn this into a whole rant about the army.
no but serious Hellflame, I totally get your point. It's the same here. Heroes are typically the forces. Everything good is the army. I mean....ugh. I don't know. I know of alot of them who are corrupt and not hero like in anyway.
The military is just like any other large group, some are bad others are good. I think the reason why so many people respect them is because they may have to participate in a conflict they don't agree with, which (I imagine) would be very trying. My father fought in the Vietnam war, but he didn't outright agree with it. Saying the armed forces are overwhelmingly good or bad would be an overgeneralized statement, imo. Back on topic. I agree that there are a lot of "unsung heroes" in this world, who don't get the recognition they deserve. I can't speak for the rest of the world, but in America the media is far too preoccupied talking about violence and other non-issues that we rarely get to hear about those types of people. If it came to reporting on a high-speed car chase or someone who has done something positive, they'll report on the car-chase 90% of the time. It's a real shame.
In Pakistan, there are a large number of beggars, in Karachi only there are about 49000 or more. Well, there are so many because there are so many who give charity to the wrong people. But there are some people who work as manual labourers who work on constructing houses and such. They get much lesser than the average sorry looking beggar who doesn't need to move much to earn about 3000 or more ruppees in a month. They work very hard for much less than $5 a day, for long hours. They never stoop to begging, and they fast. They work under the sun the whole day. Yet no one really appreciates them. They don't want to accept charity as they are proud. I admire them. Also, it's common to see some limbless people begging on the road, but when I went to Lahore, there was this man who had no hands or arms, but he worked in a small chai shop as a waiter. There are so many people here that beg with all hands and legs secure, no ailments, nice clothes food and such. However this waiter was proud. And I admired him.
