Strength Is The Only Option

?

I have been observing protests, rather peaceful protests across my country.

The current ?government of Pakistan unlike any previous government in its history, has proven to? be absolutely brutal at taxing its people. Well, the previous ones were not that caring either, but this government has surpassed all previous records.

With almost no facilities, there total tax direct and indirect burden is estimated to be as high as 60 percent. Adding inflation of above 40 percent leaves them nothing, so they are protesting. They are also paying for electricity which they have never used, thanks to a term coined by the government: capacity charges, paying for the idle capacity of the IPP units responsible to produce electricity.

But this post is not a rant about high taxes and ever getting high cost of electricity. I shared this to create a background for this message, which I am about to write.

With all the truthfulness, legitimacy and righteousness that the protestors have, there is one thing missing: strength.

It takes a very high clarity of mind to understand, accept and take correctional action that anyone committing manipulation, atrocity or injustice does not and will NEVER succumb to protests from the weak.

The only way to resist oppression is through strength.? Well this does not mean ignoring peace and taking illegal actions, but that the people who are in command simply do not attend to the demands of weak.

Have you ever seen drug dealers offering their territory to their competitors?

Have you ever seen or heard or read in history that a dictator gave away his command, just because people expressed their disapproval for him?

Ever saw a hyena let go of a deer because it screamed for mercy?

Do you expect Israel will step back, or even take a single step back from killing Palestinians and their babies?

The only way to resist oppression is through strength.

Begging for mercy will not help. Kneeling down to ask for your rights will not make them give you your rights. For this same logic, weak men cannot do much help in the fight of humanity. It is only strong men, with conscience and rightfulness, that can act and create success.

Weak people, at their best are not able to generate results. On average, they obstruct the very cause they seem to work for and at their worst, in a group, they sell out their strong team mates or their leaders.

The greatest fact in the history very few nations have take a lesson from: your opinions, your seminars, conferences, written protests, dossiers, memoirs, walking out of a UN GA session or any similar act does NOT matter, if you are weak.

This is why international mafias and committers of atrocities do not want weak nations to form bonds or partnerships or unions among each other. They buy out the weaker members within nations and weaker people within a nations top management board.

When you are weak, you have to listen to every BS that comes from the top management. You are threatened to be fired for speaking out. You are forced to listen and to act the way they want.

But they are kind of ineffective on the strong because strong people have options. They cannot threaten them, bend them, buy them or manipulate them.

Strength creates resistance. Isn’t it what we see in all naturally found elements. The stronger an element, the resistant it is. In the best case, staying weak leads to being of no value, on average a liability and in the worst case, a traitor.

This leaves finally the question how to cure weakness.

There are two ways. One: to find and dig out one’s weakness and to work on those and get rid of them or change them or improve them to strength. This takes time and works at individual level.

The second way: is to form coalitions and act together. Ironically, it will always be the weak, who will again resist to get and act together.

Learn to cure weakness. But before that understand with clarity, that weakness is never listened to.

Before you decide to protest, gain more strength that they can handle, then even your peaceful protests will get the results.
