ELABORATING THE ETHICAL ,MORAL ROOT CAUSE OF THESE PROBLEMS:

“Corruption of thought “ .
This main problem serves as a pedestal for other growing problems.
Thought is what differentiates humans from animals. A human thought ,to be precise any
human being thought needs some objective and ethical standards that are innate in any human
until mitigated by the society while he is growing up.

Second thing is “Lack of Masculinity and Feminism” . In other words can say that either they
hold no % of these traits or carry a toxic level. Men are not the real men, they don’t behave like
one .Men used to go on wars ,used to get wounds and would still care for others but today all u
can see are depressed,malmasculined,pretty boys flexing on digital screens and enjoying the
elevation of dopamine . They care more about physical appearance then their character and
empire building. Similarly ,the focus of women is more on beauty than their cognitive
development. Forgetting about their individual responsibility ,she tries to outshine ,showoff the
mask that has only one identity of being ‘fake’. She solemnly tries to be people pleaser. This all
leads to a family with zero dignity, zero contribution to the world and are ultimately only (dharti
py bhojh).

Third thing, “cowards hold the power” . In any league of life ,for most of the time u will see that
people with a faulty or selfish goal hold the highest place .The main reason for it is us ,we are
habitual of any injustice done to us and just casually move on ,accepting it as it is someone else
responsibility to speak about it and take action .

Fourth thing, to determine a rational , objective and ethical systems by which we can live . And
guess what !!we already have it “Seerah tu Nabi “ and “Quran”. We just need to implement it
by opening up its secrets.
