At the Verge of Disaster...         

I am living in UAE but unfortunately today I saw the news about the protest of teachers in Karachi for their legitimate rights.

It reminded me the famous quote of Aristotle who once said: “Those who educate children well are more to be honored than they who produce them; for these only gave them life, that art of living well.”

I felt ashamed and embarrassed while watching the authorities treating them treated like cattle’s. Our nation is going towards dead and at the point of no return. Teachers are the building block of the nation and they create the generation who move the country forward they are the gift of God towards nation who up bring the little tiny minds to the concrete decision makers if we treat them like slaves you can imagine where we will land and what they will teach. Teachers must be deal like the pride of the nation irrespective of the class they are teaching whatever the school they belong whatever the subject they teach. It reminded me one very historical event happened in the public court of Germany once a person was brought in the issue of parking his car at the wrong place. The judge asked the person why you parked at the wrong place? .The person replied “ I am a teacher and I was getting late for my class and didn’t get the right paring so by mistake I parked the car at the wrong place” After listening the statement the Judge announced “ ladies and gentlemen we have a teacher in the court and all folks stand up” the judge further said “ We are sorry for the incontinence caused to you because of no parking” after saying this he dismiss the case and ordered that “local government will pay the fine on his behalf.

This is the reason why developed countries are respectable that’s the reason why they are far ahead of us that’s why they called us 3rd-world country because we don’t give respect to the deserved ones. 

To sum up my feelings I want to say that those nations who sold shoes in the beautifully decorated racks and sell books on the floor their future are dark and disastrous.
