A Rat Race

I feel in this world of today....a world of high speed running and no looking back....we all are part of a race, a rat race....

A race which starts from a conventional start line....but the goal is not to get to the finish line....but just....to get ahead of the person next.....no matter who....no matter what....its not about finishing the race cos the race only ends with death....the objective is to go ahead of the person ahead of you...

This could be by jumping over, crumpling the person ahead or giving him a hard nag in the ribs to make him stop and gasp for breath....no rules apply...

What this does is that we lose focus as to what we are here for......there is supposed to be a reason right?

Where are we heading....as Muslims....?
Where are we heading....as Pakistanis....?
and Where are we heading....as Humans......?

Do we really know...? or for that matter do we even care? Is this what we are here for....?

What if the finish line is the same as the start line just like most races.....are....? What are we running towards?

Do we know where we are going....It is important to explore and find out....

Believe me its important....to know where we are headed....just running wildly with a materialistic/worldly....approach....is not going to get us anywhere...
