@Chak Bamu - with due respect, this should explain the divergence in opinions between you and PTI supporters
All the world's a mass of folly,
Youth is gay, age melancholy:
Youth is spending, age is thrifty,
Mad at twenty, cold at fifty;
Man is nought but folly's slave,
From the cradle to the grave.
- William Henry Ireland, Modern Ship of Fools
We might both be wrong, but we'll always go about our opinions for a better Pakistan in different ways.
Most PTI supports are the youth, that's over 60% of our population right now. They don't have kids, and they're ready to take on the world. They are, unfortunately, as has always been the quality of youth, trivial to influence. They want to see changes in their own lifetime, they don't much care about their children and grandchildren yet. They simply don't want their youth wasted serving corrupt politicians.
You've seen the nation grow for a while with all its ills and all its defining moments and all its celebrations. You have realized that no matter the status quo, you must give it time. And you're willing to sacrifice your today to plant the seeds for tomorrow.
They're not. They want change, and they want it now - and the mess we're in - is because to them, the ends justify the means.
So in the end, our experience or the lack of it will always keep our opinions apart. It's hard for me to decide who exactly is right. As both of us are justified. But that doesn't mean we're both right. Only time will tell.
