Dearest Reader,
If some of the Pakistani problems can be solved the western way, most of the western problems can be solved only the Pakistani way.
Yours faithfully,
Author.
Dear Reader,
I want those who suffer for others, not those who make outher’s suffer for themselves. I want those who are miserable in the luxury of modern civilization, not those who luxuriate in the misery of science and non-sense, because science is nonsense. You can either be a donkey under gold* or gold on the back of a donkey. You can be either but not both. When we try to possess wealth, it is wealth that possesses us.
Yours faithfully,
Author.
Der Reader,
I want poor people who can walk the world around, not the rich who cannot walk a mile without a car. I want people who are both physically and mentally rich poor not those who are physically erich but physically poor. I want people who have nothing yet have all, and having all yet have nothing; who are masters and not menials of their possessions, who possesses wealth, not wealth possesses them, and who are not possessed of wealth.
Yours faithfully,
Author.
Dear Sir,
Never spend the night in the dark, dingy city streets but always in the countryside. Preferably under the starry blue sky and above the green golden earth and let health and highmindeness pour through every cell of your body.
Yours faithfully,
Dear Sir,
Where can one live in this corruption-ridden land of ours?
Yours faithfully,
