WE, as a nation, seem to be losing direction as we have become short-tempered owing to stress and depression that have grippedour society in the last few years. While all demographics have been affected, the most alarming is the spread of negative tendencies among our young upon whom the future of the country rests.
Political polarisation, sectarianism and poverty are the three main factors behind the worsening situation. As such, a stable functioning society is essential for mental peace of its people. It is time we raised public awareness regarding this predicament.
Instead of pointing fingers at the government, we need to take the initiative ourselves. It requires self-reflection, self-assessment and activism on different forums. Together we can heal each other.
