Within the human civilisation, though, nations do not survive forever. Some perish quickly and some others remain in the folds of misery and self-deceit for long before they eventually perish. It seems that today we fall in the latter category of nations. If we do not want to live miserably and then finally perish, we need to seriously learn from societies that are ahead of us. All achievements of human civilisation apart, there is no denying that the world remains a competitive and unjust place. But a downtrodden nation cannot achieve dignity by demonstrating mere rage against those who dominate it, while at the same time remaining dependent on them economically and technologically. The epicentres of knowledge and power may or may not be reclaimed by us in the times to come but the acquisition of knowledge and pursuit for intellectual liberation will make us eligible for a respectable and equal global citizenship. ~Harris Khalique
