have we lost all our moral values?

Have we lost all our moral values? This is the question we should ask ourselves when we are busy in the worldly dealings. We get so lost in our day to day routine that we cross our limit of inhumanity and are so oblivious to it. Due to our ignorance a lot of white collared people suffer. Either at home or at work, in some way or the other, people you work or live with end up suffering a great deal of pressure, be it psychological or physical.
These days men and women have stooped so low in order to gain profit. They will hurt anyone to facilitate not only their needs but also their luxuries. On political level or on a level lower than that, people bribe the officials with the intention of getting their work approved.
These days here in Pakistan, when you are stopped by the traffic police sergeant all you need to do is show him a note of 500 rupees and you are off the hook. This is how easy it is to get your way around these police officials.
Even the murderers and the rapists can be freed in exchange of a heavy amount of money. Now you tell me, how safe this world is for people who have already suffered from such horrific criminals?
Normally you feel safe when you see a police man standing near you as it is his job and duty to protect all and sundry but here in our dear land we usually avoid being anywhere close to a police man as he can not be trusted.
Lying, deceit, dishonesty, trickery and fraud are few of the deeds that we proudly do.
We should be ashamed of ourselves.

hypocrites

Hi all! I went to a gathering today, there were a lot of women and what I saw among all those beautifully dressed and gracefully decked up ladies were two-faced people. Hypocrisy! They were constantly being sweet to the hostess and gave outrageous remarks behind her back. I hate such people. One thing I don’t understand is why people need to pretend to be good friends where as, in actual, they are jealous of you.

Sincerity makes the very least person to be of more value than the most talented hypocrite.
Charles Spurgeon

How can you be two-faced person, it’s beyond me. From where do people learn such politics? They are eating with you, laughing with you and they even try to help you out through your bad times but still their hearts are filled with resentment and deceit. They are trying to win your heart but at some point they will show their true color.

The only thing worse than a liar is a liar that's also a hypocrite!
Tennessee Williams

The problem is that we can not recognize such people. There is no punishment for being a hypocrite. No one can be aware of such frauds until they are forced to be in acquaintance with such people.

The only vice that cannot be forgiven is hypocrisy. The repentance of a
hypocrite is itself hypocrisy.
William Hazlitt

prostitution - the social taboo

Prostitution is a taboo culture of sex-trade in a society that is present as an open-secret. Its illegal but all high authority officials are aware of this curse on a healthy society but nothing is being done to shut down such organizations. This is also because of the policemen who are being paid by the pimps or what ever you call them. These men don’t raid their brothels which is what they get paid for.

Prostitution is not just a service industry, mopping up the overflow of male demand, which always exceeds female supply. Prostitution testifies to the amoral power struggle of sex.... Prostitutes, pornographers, and their patrons are marauders in the forest of archaic night.
CAMILLE PAGLIA, Sexual Personae

There are two type of female prostitutes one are those girls who are abducted, kidnapped or lured in to this industry and the other type are those who go in to this business for the sake of earning money.

Prostitution exists today because women are objectified sexually, and because it is considered more permissible for men than for women to have purely sexual experiences.
RUTH MAZO KARRAS, Common Women

We say in these days that slavery has been vanished from this modern world but this; prostitution is a very major type of slavery. This slavery is of women; they are either forced to or willingly sell their bodies out of wedlock.

We say that slavery has vanished from European civilization, but this is not true. Slavery still exists, but now it applies only to women and its name is prostitution.
VICTOR HUGO, Les Misérables

The only way to stop this trafficking in and profiting from the use of women's bodies is for prostitution to be legalized. Legalization will open it up to regulation; and regulation means safety. As some of the women have HIV/AIDS and are unaware of it. So this way they will be tested for such diseases and will be given cure instead of ignoring the disease they will be treated properly.

lives of transvestites

Transvestite’s literal meaning is someone who dresses up in the manner and tradition of the opposite sex or gender. Earlier, transvestites were those people who were naturally born female impersonators, but nowadays, they dress up for the sake of dressing up like women and attract attention.
I was watching this show on transvestites the other day. The host was interviewing them and asking about their lifestyle. They said how people get scared of them. They cant use public transport, since in Pakistan buses have two sections, one is for males and the other for females, so when they sit in the females section the ladies are scared and when they sit in males section the men tease them and make it impossible for these people to travel by public transport. So they are forced to use taxis or auto rickshaws. They tried to go in a beauty salon for facial and makeup but the workers didn’t let them in, said they were scared of them, even though they pleaded the girls working in that parlor to let them in but they were not allowed to enter that doorstep. Now these men-cum-women are forced to do all their beauty treatments at home.
Living this way is really very hard when neither men nor women befriend you; instead they either tease you or are scared of you. The thing I don’t get is, why would any man want to change his sex? I mean isn’t male gender said to be stronger and more prominent one? Then why would you want all your freedom to go in trash? What good is it doing to you or your life?
I feel sorry for the transvestites but this is their own doings. No body forced them to dress up like women and lose their freedom. I hope the people around them mellow towards them a bit and learn to respect and befriend them.

sexism in the third world countries

Hi all, have u ever wondered why women in third world countries, like our beloved Pakistan, Bangladesh and India, wear abayas, veils or burqas without knowing the real reason of wearing one or not knowing the importance of its compulsion in Islam? Actually, you see, the men folks of these regions are sexist pigs. Women in any dress, be it revealing or a full veil, will be stared at for the longest periods of time. Men, in these countries, are so mentally sick their stare will make you feel as if you are naked even though you've draped yourself from head to toe in piles of clothing. Frustration in menfolk has been increasing during the past few years. They are ready to pounce on any female creature be it an adult or a three-month-old baby. When i came across this news that a depressed and addicted father raped his three-month-old daughter i was so shocked as this young a baby is so delicate how can he even think of doing it. Its beyond me. So many cases were thrown in the limelight so that public would seek such men and execute them for their animality. One such case was of Mukhtaran Mai who went public, took her appeal to the media as she knew no one in the government was going to help her instead they would make her their prey, so she wisely chose her steps by going on media this way she was given justice and not only that, but also she was taught and groomed and now she runs an NGO for such women. I salute the media for their role in this case has been undeniably marvellous. The real problem is that women, after this accident get so scared and their parents start pledging them their family honour, dont come up and launch their complaints instead they learn to live with this crucial truth for the rest of their lives. My message is that all you abused girls should go to the authorities so they can catch these people and punish them and it is your duty to save your fellow women from such an inhumane activity.It is said that

Life lived in fear is a life half lived.
