Health aid - A solution ?

There is so much I want to do and so many thoughts I want others to listen too. I want to save the world from environmental hazards, I want to open schools for the uneducated, I wish I could give evry homeless a shelter , every jobless a job and go to every town and village to teach people about mutual respect and tolerance. I wish I could be in Africa and Arctic at the same time so that I could both save the penguins and the kwashiorkor plagued societies simultaneously.

I know what I said would be a shocker to many of my friends who think I dont volunteer for the Patient Welfare Association in my college because I dont feel for humanity and am too selfish. The reality is that I think that simply giving free medicines to the poor is not an end to human sufferings. As they say, if you give a man a fish, you feed him fora day, but if you teach a man how to fish , you feed him for a lifetime.In exactly the same way, giving medicines to the poor free of cost is a really good way to ease their worries but it is in no way a permanent solution because the underlying question is - For how long can those people be expected to rely on others aid to fulfill their basic requirements ?

Problems like poverty, malnourishment and illiteracy prevalent in Pakistan need long term planning and a far sighted vision. Educating the underprivileged masses and giving them technical skills so that they may earn themselves or find better oppurtunities for themselves is s solution which will not only alleviate povertyand illiteracy but will also provide a labour force eager to bacome an active component of the economy especially in such a time of an international economic crisis.

A brain which has n't been educated, trained or rather polished in the metaphoric sense is like a blank page and is crude. Firstly, it can't think of solutions on its own and secondly neither can it reason or differentiate between right and wrong.

Speaking about the first instance, a person who cant think properly, or in a systematic, educated way cant find solutions to overcome the troubles in his/her everyday life like unemployment by generating enough money to sustain him/herself. Education opens vistas of ideas otherwise locked and sealed in such people.

Secondly the inabilty to differentiate between right and wrong leaves such people in a precarious and vulnerable situation. Such people can easily be brainwashed and used to advantage by not only people like feudal lords but terrorist organisations who I think induct such people beacuse they can easily be brainwashed and led to believe that the evil plans these oraganisations devise are actually very holy !!

Health aid and charity is an excellent way of helping humanity, and I am not against it, all I'm trying to say is that education is a 'long term' solution which will alleviate poverty and other long standing problems. I'm not an economist or a crisis manager but I dpn't think there is anything unpractical in my ideas .I think we need to invest the most in a sound education and awareness plans beacuse no plans by the govt or charity by the public can have any effect until the masses are awakened from their slumber of illiteracy and brought to the light of education

Change is a rule of life , its a phenomena that functions as a principle of this universe, and all those who live in this universe are supposed to order their lives with it i.e either keep changing or adapt to the changes. Thats the key of survival .Some people are quick to adapt changes and they ,if you observe closely, are those who prosper. All top businessmen and entreprenueurs are those who are at pace with the rapid changes in society, they are those who are far ahead of the normal people , making space for themselves in the future while we the ordinary people strive to leave behind our past and stabilize our present.....

Hoorah
