Which side you want to choose..

"This is the way we are, this is the way system is, and this is the way it will keep running" . This is the phrase I have heard or we all must have heard thousand time in our lives and surely we have said that as well whenever some injustice has been done around us,  when we see things are not going the way they should or when we see something happening that is not right ethically, morally or in any other sense.
Lets recall history to some extent, sometimes back we all must have heard about a guy in Bangladesh working on the idea of micro finance banking, gave small loans to farmers, that gradually helped them to a larger extent changing the life style of their whole area and neighboring villages.That guy took the initiative and chose to help. We all remember the name Dr.Abdul Qadeer Khan, he had the opportunities to study and work in the most developed countries of the world but he chose his own country where there were no resources in comparison with other countries, but he worked and made our country a nuclear power, first in the Islamic world, that happened because he chose to do so. We all know someone with the name Abdul Sattar Edhi, when he started his social services he had nothing in his hand and now according to his own words he can get 5,6 crores if he just stands at a road in lahore for 2 to 3 hours. He has this impact because he chose this field of social services and he gave his life to it.
Now just imagine what if the above three people have decided to live a normal life, what if they have blamed the system while having discussions in their drawing room like the way we do and had done nothing. Its all about deciding what you want to do and how you want to be remembered as. Its all about choosing the side, the side that has done nothing beside blaming and shouting, or the side that can help a society or a nation to some extent.Think and choose the side before its too late.
