Every Thing Happens for reason...?

Life is full of surprises. Every other day something happens and we evaluate it on our own sight that whether it is good or bad for us. At times things happen which for instance seem a bad thing to happen but as time passes by that thing might have saved you from a lot of other problems. But does everything happens for a reason,everything has some message for us and others.Have you ever thought of it?
Few months back a plane crashed in the hills of Margalla (Pakistan). Many people were killed in the crash and it was termed as the biggest crash in the Aviation history of Pakistan.Almost 13 people got their tickets cancelled due to bad weather,and were lucky. One MNA who needed that flight was denied as the flight was "FULL".He tried his best to get in but he did not succeed. Wonder what he would have been thinking after the crash.This is just one incident but try to look back at your lives ,there may have been many instances where something you thought went wrong but later turned out to be your saviour.
Now lets have a look at other side of story.If you will keep on thinking that whatever is happening (good or bad) is supposed to be in your favour and you quit exerting your effort,then the result will be no more different than what we are observing today. We are becoming ethically dead day by day. There is a blast every other day and the government's responsibility seems ti end by saying that Taliban are involved in it,everyone forgets it the very other day. In our lives we are not honest,we lie to earn more and we to get a bigger profit margin even if it is at the cost of others rights. We try not to respect the signals because it is easier for us to bribe a policeman than to go and wait in queue and submit our ticket. The list can go on and on but wait. Is this Happening for our own good. Are we not trying to hammer an axe on our own foot, what will be the end result??
After the earthquake of 2005 and floods of 2010 we are still paving our way towards wrong path. Has it not taught us anything. Are these warning signs not enough for us to mend our ways. Are we waiting for some miracle to happen or are we living in fools paradise by thinking its for our own good?When will we start thinking on right path....

Other Side of Story


Once it was said that medical profession is the most respectful profession, the doctors were respected in the society, enjoyed many relaxations because the were the Messiah of the society. They treated people and people used to get well, and respected the profession and the doctor more than before. But recently where has this respect gone to? Doctors don't enjoy respect, rather they are treated worst than criminals at many times. The medical profession does not enjoy the immunity it used to enjoy once and everyone is frustrated and unhappy with them.Every other day we hear doctors going on strike, killing a patient by giving wrong injection and killing a patient as if he/she was an enemy. But lets also go and have a look at other side of story and make a fair decision on where who is right and wrong.
The position holders of every school want(or rather wanted) to be a doctor. They study hard to score higher and get admission in the medical school. They drain their brain and energy and finally get into Medical school.The next five years they study harder even more than before and finally they get their MB BS degree. From here starts the story. The training starts by doing house job in which they work for 36 hours straight every alternate day and it is given the name of training in lieu of which they are paid 12,000 rupees only if they are lucky but usually after all sorts of deductions they get around 8000-9000 rupees. If the doctor is supported by family then its another story but usually its not the case. Most of our doctors come from lower middle to poor sect of society, who strives hard for success all their lives and when they get this amount in return of all their efforts and hard works, they are not the happy people.Apart from monetary aspect they are threatened every now and then and many of these doctors have been murdered brutally only because they are doctors.
When they are done with their house jobs they are stuck in the post graduation TRAINING which has again more or less same issues. When they get home after doing 36 hours of duty and get time to watch TV our respected media shows any negligence case, which many at times is not the truth. It is the human nature that when any dear one is departed the loved ones are shocked and after recovering from the denial phase starts holding doctors guilty. Though at times there might be the fault of a doctor but it is not always the case as portrayed.Both sides of the story should be investigated and then an opinion should be made, so that whatever is the truth should prevail. When a doctor observes this that every other person is hating him and pointing him to be guilty they get upset and in turn they take revenge which is again not the right thing to do. It only worsens the matter. The doctors go on strike and they don't give due attention to the patient. The patient gets more infuriated and the viscous cycle continues.

Today another association in Punjab has called for strike all over the province, but don't only hold the doctor responsible for this try to hold their necks whom you have voted for in the elections to give doctors some respectable life so that the viscous cycle be broken and the doctors given the respect they deserve and the people get the attention they deserve.
