We also have the problem of unyielding blind faith. Be it CPEC to even this very thread, there's this sense here that everything will turn out fine, somehow, especially when one's leader of choice is in charge.There is no ummah brother involved. It’s pure give and take to which right now Pakistan has little to offer.
People give North Korea as a failed nation but as such their population doesn’t know any better.
The true definition of a failed nation is when the apathy of its peoples reaches a point where they don’t see logic and information in front of them.
Pakistan is a victim of its own ethnic composition and religious thought. Not so much the conflict between ethnicity but more so the loyalties to failed leaders they hold due to archaic concepts of family allegiance.
Right now, it is the Pakistan Military (and nuclear weapons) that is the attraction about Pakistan or its only useful factor. Otherwise there is nothing positive about the country to attract anyone- IK is a change but the underlying mindsets of the rural areas and the burdens of race loyalty and associated corruption and nepotism will always make it a groaning low grade sine wave of social structure.
The only solution is education, even the oiled up Arabs understand that. Sadly, the pigs we have as politicians today lose out.. and their followers happily following them like rats to pied pipers.
No quarter is given to asking about the magnitude of the problem, much less understanding the consequences in the near, medium and long-term.
In a way, it's self-serving.
If we remain oblivious to the problem, then it's easier to love those we want to love rather than making tough decisions, which will involve heavy self-reflection and, in turn, a push to truly change (which means walking away from the thoughts, concepts, beliefs and people we hold dear today).
