Our instabilitys double standard

Some Pakistani politicians have alleged that some countries have been plotting to destabilise Pakistan. What a funny allegation Pakistan has been unstable ever since its birth. Some Pakistanis have always been passionately busy making Pakistan more and more unstable. The objective being to loot the country absolutely unhindered. And they have been extremely successful in their mission. If all the countries were jointly to destabilise Pakistan, they wouldnt be able to destabilise it to the extent to which we have already destabilised it. The country is miserably wobbling. The masses are desperately crying. The skies are watching. What could be the skies reaction? One just shudders to imagine. Lets pray that the skies dont fall just out of sheer pity for the masses. Why should any country plot to destabilise Pakistan when a ready-made destabilised Pakistan is available to it for exploitation? Actually, the destab-ilised Pakistan is inviting every country to do with it whatever it fancies to do. What a generosity An unstable country is a country where the national resources can be easily looted. The greater the instability, the easier the looting. Because of Pakistans ever-growing instability, some Pakistanis have been looting the country more and more rapaciously. There has always been a fierce competition between the looters. Every looter seems determined to win the trophy. Some Pakistanis have got their huge bank loans written-off. It is all a gift of the countrys instability. An NRO cannot dare to be born in a stable country. The NRO beneficiaries must be worshipping the countrys instability. Some Pakistanis have developed highly sophisticated techniques for looting the country. The techniques have been marvellously successful. The credit for the success goes entirely to the instability of the country. Such lootings wouldnt be possible in a stable country. The looters must be expressing their gratitude to their luck that they were not born in a stable country. The wealthy Pakistanis are scared that because of the countrys instability their wealth would keep rotting and rotting. Eventually, it would be reduced to a bucketful of dust. In order to avoid such a tragedy, the wealthy Pakistanis transfer their wealth to some foreign 'caves. Unfortunately, the fleeing of the wealth makes the country more unstable. National instability is a prolific creator of social, political and economic evils. Of all such evils, corruption is the most horrific. The intensity with which our corruption has jolted Pakistan cannot be measured even on the Richter scale. In an unstable country, the national institutions are regularly at war with each other. The powerful classes derive immense benefits from the war. But the masses suffer miserably. Thus, the powerful classes enjoy two benefits: affluence for themselves and misery for the masses. Actually, they enjoy the misery of the masses much more than their own prosperity. Instability has a demonic double standard. It is extremely generous to the upper classes and extremely hostile to the masses. The upper classes thrive on instability. Instability pours oceanfuls of money into their bottomless pockets. On the contrary, it crushes the masses. It shoves riverfuls of poverty, starvation and diseases down their throats. Some Pakistanis have fought political elections on the basis of their fake academic degrees. Had Pakistan been a stable country, such 'fakings would have been almost impossible. The 'fakers must be blessing the countrys instability. If a gradation list of the worlds unstable countries was prepared, Pakistan would undoubtedly win one of the top positions. But no single government could claim full credit for the position. Almost every government has contributed its own quota to the national instability. An unstable country is physically, as well as mentally, a disabled country. There are numerous philanthropic organisations which look after disabled individuals. But there is not even a single such an organisation for looking after disabled countries. What a pity The writer is an academic.
