As-Salaam-O-alaykum, wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh.
All praises for Allah Karim; Whom we must worship for 'Him Alone' ! Darood-o-Salam on Prophet ﷺ because Allah Karim ordained us to do that ! Peace upon Prophet's (ﷺ) family, company, successors and those who follow his path.
Pakistan is in the 'fangs' of :- [Without a mention of rampaging corruption, devastating insecurity, instability, poverty and diabolical injustices]
'AMAN KI ASHA',
'DIALOGUES',
'RECONCILIATION',
'COME ON HIT ME AND KEEP GOING',
'WHO IS GOING TO BE THE NEXT "THE MAN"',
'RENDITIONS OF THE "INCOMPARABLE" ANCHORS AND COLUMNISTS',
'RHETORIC OF THE BEST TV SCHOLARS, CHAMPIONS IN , WASTING TIME AND BREATH',
SYNDROME THAT 'EVERY MAN OCCUPYING "A CHAIR" IS THE WISEST AROUND'
.......AND MANY MORE.
....and out of the entire heap, conspicuous by their absence are, LOGIC, WISDOM, RATIONALITY {CRITICAL REASONING} AND SINCERITY which form the basis for any sound judgment and decision since ages. It is said :-
Some 2,500 years ago, Socrates gave birth to the art and science of what we now call 'CRITICAL REASONING'. Through a system of inquiry, known as the “Socratic Method,” Socrates used a series of probing questions to obtain answers and then critique those answers. [OUR EQUIVALENT TO THAT IS APCs] In this manner, he sought to reveal the key issues behind perplexing problems, to uncover the merit and flaws in commonly held ideas, and to expose those contradictory beliefs that often hide behind smooth-sounding but empty rhetoric.
It is indeed humorous to reflect on Socrates’ observation that one cannot necessarily rely on the “sound” judgment of those individuals occupying positions of authority; they may be prone to think in a muddled, whimsical, or irrational manner.
..........AND ARN'T THEY ?
WHEN SHALL WE RESORT TO CRITICAL REASONING?
