“It is a mistake to look upon liberty as just a set of principles – just so much language printed on fine heavy paper – something you recite and then lean back and take it for granted that liberty has just been given to you. Liberty must be engraved in our heart and practiced every minute to the letter and spirit. We cannot even exist as first class human beings, unless we are willing to go down into the dust and blood and fight a battle every day in our lives to preserve it against all prejudicial odds, for ourselves as well as our neighbors.”

For that purpose, the English print and electronic media would have the appropriate and suitable ways to execute its concerns, for the security and economic achievements. Unfortunately, all institutions fail, to draw attention towards that insight and point. Pakistan has not a lack of talented figures, who may devote their services voluntarily, for that cause. It is a key to the state of Pakistan, for its advocacy of peace and harmony with other nations, and defending tool, to opponents, who try to damage the dignity and prestige of Pakistan, with negative propaganda. If we realize that, the small nations and political, or religious groups, have a hold on such tools, and ways, for their propaganda. While Pakistan is out of that picture; consequently, we face isolation, and humiliation by wrong elements.”

“Real saints are rare to be found in the world, but there are plenty of sinners to go around—you know plenty of them, and if you’re honest, you’re probably one of them. So don’t fall for cheap lines like: “Our side is all good, and theirs is totally evil!” Real life is a lot more complex than that.”
