We Are “Politically Correct” But Morally Bankrupt

We are so politically correct to keep up our image but so morally incorrect when it comes to doing the right thing because the right thing may backlash in our faces and we may be questioned publicly or even alienated by the society.
Nobody bothers about being morally right at the cost of being politically incorrect.
We want our leaders to be honest but our votes to be biased. We want our children to be patriotic but we slander Pakistan in their presence. We want our daughter in laws to be “Obedient” but our daughters to control their husbands. We want our bosses to be kind but our employees to be slaves. We say that we feel the pain of poor people travelling in broken buses but we would never give a ride in our SUVs to a random old man. We want our universities to charge the least amount of money for education but our children to get the highest salaries after graduation.
We are losing morality but we are becoming experts at being politically correct. Change will not come from leaders, it never has. Change comes from the masses. The leaders are just the face of the masses nothing more. The next time you use the social media condemning something or praising something out of shear convenience and as a knee jerk reaction, think twice. Remember one thing, all political changes come based on moral revolutions. We are looking for political revolution since 70 years. We are trying to put a saddle on donkey for a horse race.
Politics is never moral. And morality does not have an ounce of politics in it. So decide which side you want to be on. You will not be questioned on the day of judgement about being political correct, you will be answerable for your moral wealth or lack thereof.
