As it will not be an exaggeration when we utter the praise of words of great philosopher, dreamer of Pakistan our great poet of east that he compares youth with ‘’Shaheen’ ’It seems that how Iqbal has a great love for youth, how Iqbal respect youth and called them as the future builder of the nation. It is well known from history of great nation who are now as a leading role in the world because of their respect for youth. Those nation got development who take keen observation in the activities of their youth and also take interest to handle their challenges.
Our youth are blessed with lots of hidden potential in all aspect of life ranking from academic to co-curricular activities they have ranked from high altitude of tracking and depth to the oceans in all filed of life, they are blessed of potentials but these talents need a platform, that platform where they may be able to nourish and polish their potentials, they need a source of courage and respect of love, they need a lamp of hope to brighten their path to touch the zenith of skies and to embrace highness in their life. All these comes from our society and from our behaviour and our psychology how we respect our youth, our coming generation, our future builder our leaders. How we are playing our role in this regard all these are the point of action to be discussed and to think over it and to implement in our life.
Man being a social after passing different stages of life from stone age of darkness up till now to the age of modernism and called to be Era of Enlightenment, but still there are factors which we haven’t been Enlighted about them. These factors ills our society and make the society to still lay in the bed of darkness. There are lots of bad news to be heard day by day about murder cases, about suicide, about elopement, about betrothal system of early marriage, about honour killing, about kidnapping, about rape ,and so many other issues to be seen in our society which are still existing in the Era of Enlightment period.
Why are these happening…why not any laws to be made why not any solution to be seen are any laws to be followed, why our future builders(children’s) are being harassed day by day all these are the areas to be think over it .Being in the era of Enlightment still we are reacting as we are in the past age of stone. Most of these immoral activities disturbing our society, disturbing psychology of little children’s and youth to inhale a breath of freedom in this land. A nice saying for great Milton:
‘O’h! Milton, where are you?
This land has need of you,
Come and gave the lesson,
Of peace, oflove, of morality
Thou this land now needs you’’
As far as these obstacles are concerned we have to think over it and we have to play our role to be constructive member our society ,for our youth and to show our optimistic thoughts by our action regarding our youth to make them our future leader and to care, respect and show them the path of highness by polishing their hidden potentials so that we be able to have productive member of society and good active society members leads towards highness towards good nation, as today child is tomorrow’s builder.
