This is just a small story/oath that I want to share with as many people as possible.
So a few days ago, I attended a family friend's graduation party. It was in a church. Yes the people were Pakistani and Muslims. There were 2 prayers held with full Jamat and Azan (Asar and Magrib).
Its the first experience I have ever had of this kind and it was beautiful. It also made me discern a few things. I wont slander or badmouth any religion, race or ethnicity here. What I saw that day was pure humanity. In today's society people wont even eat from the same plate of a man of another religion or sector let alone let them pray in their house of worship. In the past few months there have been a tremendous amount of issues which have bought about controversial views from all around the world. Anyone with access to a mobile device and social media can voice their views in Long paragraphs and all. But that is all they will ever will be. Just views. Yes I am one of those people and I cant deny that I won't do it again. However that day made me realize one thing for sure. The amount of time I, or anyone for that matter, put into writing long paragraphs that most people don't even read half way through, I can actually put into actions. Those paragraphs won't ever touch someone's heart. They won't bring dead people back. They won't make time go back to undo all those evil deeds. They won't prevent future attacks, but my actions can. And yes I am not ashamed to say that a christian made me open my eyes and realize that. Every religion teaches to spread peace. Its us people that manipulate those teachings to cover up our atrocious acts in the name of religion. The saying "Actions speak louder than words" never really held any meaning for me until that day. So from today I will do less talking and more work. At the end of the day we don't need to erase any religion, race or ethnicity to make this world a better place. All we need is humanity.
