Dear Pakistan, would you mind waking up?

Pakistan is asleep, we all know. It has been like this for past 65 years or so. Some horrible dreams did come into its sleep, but alas they failed to wake it up. By horrifying dreams, I mean separation of Bengal, etc. What kind of sleeping pill it has taken??? I don't understand this. A nation must always be awake, so that it can apprehend what is attacking it, what is harmful to it and can distinguish between its enemies and friends. We do not qualify to be called a nation as long as we are in our present state. You don't see Shias and Sunnis embracing each other here in Pakistan, rather they are killing each other in sectarian violence events here. You don't see sincerity for the country here in Pakistan, rather here you see people stealing away petrol from abandoned petrol station during violent protests against load shedding (It really happened). You don't see here civil service people working honestly for the sake of the country's well being, rather you can see civil service eating away every last bit of money they can take through corruption and bribery, etc. No one is sincere here, and that's why we don't deserve to be called a nation.  We need to wake up from this slumber now before it is too late. We need to start thinking about the country first and then think about our interests. It is the time to do so and our country needs us the most now. Corruption, load shedding, inflation, unemployment, security issues and terrorism, etc are huge problems we are facing and we are busy in feeding our own desires here. Just yearning for change, sitting in our houses doing nothing, will not save this country. We need to actually start thinking about this country rather than our own well being. This is our beloved homeland which was "presented to us in a platter", but we still need to care about it.
Long Live Pakistan!
