Toddler Ibrahim is not the only child who has lost his life after falling into an uncovered manhole in Karachi; hundreds of children across Pakistan have died due to these open manholes. Despite the fact that billions of rupees are allocated and released every year to the concerned departments for the regular maintenance and covering of manholes, no one seems to know where this colossal amount of money disappears. Shockingly, instead of decreasing, the incidents of children falling into open manholes are increasing alarmingly day by day in almost every city of the country. Yet, no official or authority has ever been held accountable or punished for this criminal negligence.

چھوٹا بچہ ابراہیم واحد بچہ نہیں جس نے کراچی میں کھلے مین ہول میں گر کر اپنی جان گنوائی؛ پاکستان بھر میں سینکڑوں بچے ان کھلے مین ہولز کی وجہ سے جان سے ہاتھ دھو بیٹھے ہیں۔
ہر سال اربوں روپے متعلقہ محکموں کو مین ہولز کی باقاعدہ دیکھ بھال اور ڈھکنے کے لیے مختص اور جاری کیے جاتے ہیں، مگر حیرت کی بات ہے کہ یہ اتنی بھاری رقم کہاں غائب ہو جاتی ہے، کسی کو معلوم نہیں۔
حیران کن طور پر ان واقعات میں کمی کی بجائے ملک کے تقریباً ہر شہر میں بچوں کے کھلے مین ہولز میں گرنے کے واقعات دن بہ دن خطرناک حد تک بڑھ رہے ہیں، لیکن اس مجرمانہ غفلت کے ذمہ دار کسی افسر یا ادارے کو کبھی سزا نہیں دی گئی۔

Our greatest enemy is not some external person or circumstance, but the thoughts that constantly run in our minds. These thoughts never allow us to be at peace, trapping us in past regrets and future worries. This prevents us from living in the present and causes us to start blaming our condition on time, circumstances, and other people.
The problem is not the existence of thoughts, but their continuous and uncontrolled nature. This mental noise saps our energy, weakens our decision-making abilities, and distances us from our true feelings. Just as a constant noise prevents us from hearing anything clearly, this mental chatter keeps us from understanding ourselves clearly.
True peace and power lie not in completely eliminating thoughts, but in gaining control over them and becoming their observer instead of treating them as an enemy.
