RE: The Trap of "What Will People Say?" and the Dignity of Labor [ENG-URDU]

It seems like I made some waves and this title was catchy enough to get your attention! That is very kind of you to say about my writing flow and the arguments I presented.

I am actually from Pakistan, but it is okay because the situation is very similar across several nations in this region. Your comment's context remains completely accurate regardless of the location. You mentioned that a job is more exploitative than business ownership, but the reality is that owning a business is hard and risky. Many people prefer to stay in "easy mode" even if it is slowly leading them toward their doomsday.

While Westerners might understand the value of self actualization, Pakistan is still quite far from reaching that understanding. It is truly funny how degrees remain so overrated even when the global market is changing.

Regarding family upbringing, my father actually wished for me to become a Commissioned Officer, which is a noble military rank. You can find more about my response to that in my post titled Golden Prison. What I did not mention there is that every time he tries to convince me to join the military, since he is a military man himself, I always tell him that I cannot simply say "Yes, sir" to anyone. I would be far happier as a scrap collector, a profession often considered disrespectful, because I would earn less but have my freedom.

Once again, thank you for your rare visit to my blog. Please try to remember me from time to time and continue enjoying my content.
