On playing godhead,.

Artist: William Blake.( 1757 -1827)   Title: The body of  Abel found by Adam and Eve.        
                      khana baanttey huey pehla dost dusarey sey: dass wai, keri wandi karaan? Khuda aali? k bandey aali? Nayaz mand bola: Khuda aali kar deyo. pehley dost ney aik plate bhar k saath kharey bandey ko dey di, aur doosri plate mai thorey sey chaawal daal k nayaaz mand ko dey di. dusra dost hakka Bakka pehley ki surat takney laga. Pehlay ney kehka lagaya aur bola: Ki wekhna ein, khuda di wandi enj hi hondi ey.. kitey marzi hoi tey bohta ditta, kethey marzi hoi teh thora ditta, tey jey bohta dill keeta teh panwain dain hi na. ( while distributing A food offering first friend asked his friend: which distribution do you want? in the mannerism of God , or of human?  Nayaz mand asked for God's mannerism. to this first friend gave one plate full to another man standing nearby, and in other plate he put small amount of rice and gave it to nayazmand. to this second friend was all startled. First friend laughed loudly and said: what are you looking at, this is how God distributes, if He wills grants enormously, if He wishes He grants quite less, and If He wills He would not mind no granting at all.

                  Apparently its a Joke, but it underlines a very lucid fact that is a true vindication of our society. How? well my today's post was meant to answer this game of exclusion and inclusion. the biggest manifestation you see today of such a godhead play is in the form of  discretionary considerations given to public policies conducted by politicians, bureaucrats and  media. I identify its latest exhibit is the stance to  dedicate eid ul fiter 2015 to the Pishawar attack victims. before I further elucidate my point, it is to mention that : I do not wish to belittle the lives of innocent minors or their parents who on these days of celebration must be staring at the clothes worn by the martyrs or with wretched soul be remembering them for their curious inquiries about world and every day life.

                 My question is why did media not show same vein of grief to other series of incidents that happened in the main course or after that. for example.. take many series of blasts that occurred against Hazara people where each claimed least 10-30 lives per blast including 30-37 fatal injuries and had rape case of a six years old hazara girl whose reporting was completely stopped from all news channels. Nobody ever mentions about the eyes gone almost dry of such a tragedy. Nobody I see to be writing a song over the hard reluctance and ignored behavior of government during those FORTY days, where beneath an open sky the corpses of martyrs were all laying unattended.  same is the case with many other incidents which were required to be attended with as much vigor as this one was. It is all understood that this very dedication must be done in order to strengthen the continued public support of zarb e Azab. But it again if looked closely completely reveals our hidden prejudices-ours and ours state's and our 'state within a state's and that of our ubiquitous media. Even if someone knows this all then why do they still let the godheads to decide what to grief on subjected to exclusion and inclusion. Peace, support, Justice, unity doesn't comes through favoritism. It is supposed to be impartial, on a proportionate equation.
             
               If we cannot curtail these false moves based on interest, greed or fear, then why do we even choose to be a part of it? the division between categorizing communal issues and national issues should be erased, if we really consider the man capable enough to take responsibility of his own decisions.
