Things work out, yes they do!!!
We often say life is unfair,and it is and it is not.
Today while going to work I spent quite longer time on the road and what does that mean,it means more pondering.....Rush hour comes with so much traffic, school children,workers and so much more.
Today the pondering was on school children ,saw some set in cars with their parents rushing to school,saw some sets trekking to school and some selling face masks and all are children.
One caught my attention,he was walking alone,so dirty yet happy,he was on torn uniforms yet walking majestically,he was picking leathers and jumping,you know before he got into the game,it has been rigged.
But wait,this is where hope,fate and hard work comes in,those trekking might get the fuel only poverty gives and hustle much in life,those in cars might never want to leave comfort and struggle for more,my concern is those whose parents sent away far from home,with no one to take care of and they have to think of what to eat,find and beg and I always wonder what goes on in their minds.
Do they ask themselves " am I even loved" "why am I begging from house to house" "what is the essence of life"....what will make out of a child who doesn't get a guidance from anyone,he takes his lesson from the streets,survive to fight another day and no even pats them on the back.
Anytime we talk about problems and solution, anytime the weather comes hot or so cold,I lay in my bed and my mind immediately goes out to the Almajiri child,"what are they going through".
Anytime this thought comes up,I lose entire hope about solving our community problem, because we might never be able to solve them without admitting the fact that we are wrong on that side,that we let some people take a child's innocence in the guide for seeking knowledge,that we roll.our gates and closed our heart,we refuse to fight this nonsense currently going on.
The search for knowledge has changed from what it used to be, why are we not doing something about it.
If that dirty boy is in a rigged game,imagine the ones who are on the street far from home...they are not in the game entirely.
But be as always beseech Allah's guidance in curbing the manace of society we live in today
