I think that the Karachi society comprises of people who may be having different ethnic, religious, social, cultural, economic, political and/or educational etc. backgrounds, but mostly all of us have one thing in common: we are “confused” individuals making up a confused society! Why do I think that we are bunch of confused individuals? Simply because most of us don’t even know who we are! We are not sure of our identities (or the priority of our identities in cases of multiple identities). We have gotten so used to trying to get along with the “flow” that we have stopped pondering over where the “flow” came from or where is it leading to!
We wake up each day hoping for a miracle to happen but we aren’t even sure what we even want the miracle to do! All of us would want our own personalized and customized miracles. As a society, we are broken into so many fragments and such conditions seem to have been going on for so long that we have forgotten whether there ever was (or will ever be, for that matter) a point of unison which could somehow make us one at some level.
But it’s not all that bad! There is always hope and a desire for the “preferred” future. I’ve seen people looking for alternatives and solutions. But I feel that in order for these attempts to have considerable impact on the society, the solutions would have to be comprehensive and not extremely focused on only a fragment of the problem. Rather to understand it as a coherent whole, a system of interconnected parts.
