Better buck up

A person, who still gets allowance from parents, begs in part time and takes welfare/zakat from the government. And s/he her/himself has a very small pay. DO we call that person really self-reliant?
Similarly, if a country depends on Aids of other nations; while not able to produce its own product for long time. Does that country have right to call itself sovereign?
(Well For whatever it is worth, Pakistan doesn’t call its government sovereign. By objective resolution, the sovereignty belongs to Allah and People of Pakistan exercise the power bestowed upon them. Which means, we can do pretty much anything on this earth, but we aren’t sovereign because of our beliefs….and things get more complicated on clause two, but not going into that now)
However the main problem of course is the dependency on foreign aid of Pakistani nation. It hurts, when people argue over reduction of aid from a certain affluent nation, as a government’s failure. Rather than the fact we need to have aid in first place makes the government a failed one in its governance. Which means, we take the aid as our right, and our government’s main objective is to beg, and success of the government is measured on the aid they bring?

The recent decline of American aid and the congress’ landslide voting for the reduction has caused a lot of, as expected, hue and cry in the quarters of government and opposition. Oh how surprising, America is not ready to throw scraps anymore, because they don’t need us….wasn’t that quite expected all around. We, thank God, didn’t kid ourselves then and we don’t seem to now. So the reaction is uncalled for, if it were expected, don’t broad now. The stance of the both parties is quite surprising and honestly baffling, for they lack insight.
The Pro government people have always given this argument that they had no other choice post 9/11. Even if this can be accepted, as an excuse, the idea of investing the 3 billion dollars in to F16s is the one that needs more scrutiny. Do we need those planes? Really??/ Especially in a country which is so back trodden that the more than half the people are illiterates. And those, belonging to the lower classes, by virtue of effort no less than ‘jihad’ do get a degree, have to fight further to get a job. There is unemployment for the educated, which are in a minority. Think if we had a majority of educated people, what would they do with their degrees? Really it doesn’t make a case for illiterate to send their children to schools, but that’s digressing from the topic on hand.
Fact remains, until and unless, the “aid” is not used in more concrete and prolific endeavors, the country can’t progress. There quite sufficient evidence to prove that there is no plan by which it will progress. If there is no one trying to turn the wheels, how does anyone suppose there would be any movement?
So putting it briefly, buying ready-made Arms, and spending cash in infertile projects, hoping to get aids as your right and not doing anything worth developing. Doesn’t amount an emerging nation, rather there is nothing developing or emerging about it. And for such stagnancy, there is always bleak and uncertain future, for they lack any effort of action themselves and pray to providence to send some “aid”. This continues, till all that is worth selling is sold and the parasite has no other means but to die.
