Identity Crisis

Mind is a beautiful thing. It can be allowed to accept a lie and deny the truth.Allow to accept the truth and deny the lie. Also, allow to make the lie the truth and accept the truth. We have, in our lives been consumed by a major portion of the truth, the 'false-truth'.
Who would  knock on our inner self, our sub-conscious.Self-exploration;who would do that?Stand in front of the mirror and question yourself.You ,would have to do that. You are the saint who can guide your conscious, the soul  who could reap gold from the treasures of the Holy Book (Quran),  you:the  most sincere friend, the garment  of your soul.You are presently a threat to your own self and can be a friend ,if you would like to be.
You did  set out on a journey to acquire education Why did your thoughts become so myopic along the way? You began to judge others, stereotyped them , labelled them, became a xenocentric consumer, thwarted yourself as a savage slave of consumerism, limited your social gatherings to a particular class and yet you  still think you became  modern? 
You, became another victim of the 'false-truth' A truth that led you delve in your self-created  identity crisis. You educated yourself  but in limited ways. You stepped out to learn but you ended up juggling and fanthoming modernization as westernization and  liberation.
You lost your battle of being educated.If and only if you had accepted knowledge from every where with open arms. If and only if you had not limited education to just your opinion. If and only if you were not quick to judge .Only and only if you had loved yourself , your identity and not chained your mind in the shackles of   becoming some one you are not.
I pray that we realize and not shun the truth, stand tall and not deviate away from our identity as Pakistanis.I wish my words would mean ,sound and reflect sense to someone, someday.Someday.
