A Clarion Call

Many a times I felt myself to be hyper critical of our society. I have written numerous blogs on the subject. This video resonates my feelings. Societies are driven by Shame or Guilt or Fear of law. All three have gone missing in our society.

Today needed a vaccination for holy journey of Umra . Had no option but to buy injections from “black market”. The corruption has gone so rampant and deep routed that turn around seems impossible. Best way may be that we pick up courage to “blame and shame” and we collectively rise to throw out bad rulers; replacing them with honest and sincere ones.

Allah may bless us all a realisation to understand, will to change and ability to contribute in whatever capacity we are. We need to reinvigorate shame, guilt and fear of law in our society. A high quality society needs minimal laws for its functioning as all are self aware, self conscious, self disciplined and self accountable. A low quality society needs legislations and laws for every mundane dimension as all are self centred, greedy, and corrupt.
