Change to Change - You have to change yourself to get a change for yourself.

 

Most of our social life goes on the discussion in my experience, either in friends, family, office, etc. anywhere we sit we have a discussion on the different scenarios of the society i.e. politics, social, economic and individuals in which we discuss them in different matters. Might you have observed that in these days our country is cheering up with the slogan of change, the recent government of Pakistan Tehreek E Insaf manifesto was based on the change in society and make country prospering in terms of economic, social and political parameters? Ultimately as this government came we have seen people are discussing the thing that where is the change which could be discussed in detail by any political analyst.

The point of the discussion I want to break in this is, for example when there is a debate going between the people, they point out the negative things from each other and both want the other person to correct his/her mistake beside their own. We see the accidental cases on the road where people get stubborn and don’t accept their mistakes and debate with vague logic. Likewise, when someone tries to convince us to leave the bad habits we have our own justification like if you ask someone that smoking kills you, you will surely get a reply that “My that relative or that person was a chain-smoker and he lived for 85 years” and likewise logics for justifying their bad habits.

I have seen many things in this society where we play the blame games and counting others for the things and never accept our own fault. I remember when my Matriculation board result came and I got low marks. I tried each and every way to prove that the board has done wrong with me and I did the best but I haven’t accepted that my all-time preparation was spent playing cricket. Same as I had an experience where people have acceptance issues even they don’t know anything but still they will try to make their critique on the subjects besides their domain.

In the political scenario, I have seen people with too much critique on the recent government for their different things and their claims before the election, I do agree the government is getting a tough time and I am not supporting them anyway and I do not have till yet any political affiliation. But I always try to ask myself that the government changes, ever we tried to change ourselves and become socially responsible? Being an educated person ever I tried not to fight on the road? Before breaking something during a protest, do I feel that this is my country and I have paid for these assets? Ever I thought not to break the law and rules to sustain the good environment and discipline me for the country image?

I never got near to the yes because there is a big wall of No due to our stubborn behavior of discussing others' faults beside ours. No change in this world came till humans aren't ready to change themself accordingly. I believe there is a lot of instability in the socioeconomic environment but when are we going to change ourselves? Yes government been changed, did I tried to change myself for supporting the government in disciplining the environment.

Do remember that change comes from within, till the nation will not play the individual role, things will never settle down either in our personal or professional life. The priority you have to build for it is to focus and point out your fault with playing an individual role for the betterment of society. If you want a change you have to change i.e. 

change for the change.
