In Pakistan we love our izzat. Izzat meaning what the world thinks of me. We measure our success and failures by what people say or even might say about us. We have a culture of keeping up appearances. Log kya kahenge is what is most important. Aur log.... woh to sirf negative bolte hain.
Humari Izzat:
* Sab nazar ka khel hai!
* Humara Mohalla!
* Halla gulla!
* Humara Libaas!
In Pakistan if my neighbour has a bigger house than I do, I'll say yeh to haram ki kamai ka hai. Aur agar mujhe pata hai ke yeh halal ka hai, I'll say:haan yeh to abhi banaya hai. pehle pata hai kaise rehte the?
Just plain jealousy. I can't bare to see someone, anyone with bigger, better nicer thing than ME!
Nowadays we would rather live beyond our means to show off, than save a little and pay zakat. We would rather show off new clothes, a big house, a new car etc. than show we have limited resources. Hamari Izzat hamari daulat aur halaat se hoti hai, humare kirdaar aur nekion se nahin. Humari izzat hamare kaam, mehnat, talents, khoobiyon aur brotherhood se nahin hoti hai.
Kaash hamari izzat isme hoti ke hamare mohalle mein koi bhooka nahin sota. Kaash hameri izzat is mein hoti ke hamare bachon ke schoolon mein koi aisa nahin hota jiski fees pay nahin hoti. Kaash hamari izzat, humare mulk ki izzat mein hoti! Kaash......
Kuch to log kahenge.... acha kareinge to acha kehenge bhi! Socho agar hum sab aisa sochein to humara Pakistan, sahi mein humari izzat ka bais ho.
