The Newsweek Survey has found out that Americans are
pessimist about their country as 76% of them think that the
ocuntry is on the wrong track and 70% think country was 70%
better than 25 years ago to address the problems.
While reading this survey I am reminded of the situation in
Pakistan when we always come across this question that what
would be the future of Pakistan.While doing many programs on
this topic especially with the young generation of
Pakistan,I was always astounded with the fact that the youth
has come up with the sense of optimism about the future of
Pakistan,even though we are facing many challenges,but they
are adamant that we have bright future.Overall,the general
masses are going through the same kind of pessimism revealed
in the Newsweek Survey found among Americans.For me its very
surprising that the Americans are also going through the
pessimism I have seen among the public of Pakistan.The
difference between the pessimism of an American and a
Pakistani is that the former is not witnessing any war or
law and order situation in the country while the latter is
surrounded by the problems of law and order,war,price
hike,power outages and so on.Even then I think Pakistan has
a ray of optimism when the youth there envisage the country
as propserous by working for the betterment of the
people.
In this time when pessimism is dominating the affairs of the
nations ,the time has come to get united as the nations and
fight against this pessimist approach as only the people
have the power to defeat it with overwhelming sense of
optimism.
