Its been a while since I blogged. But you know that. This is a quick post, just to comment on my previous post (No Shame in Deceit) for which I got a lovely comment from Bryant of Internet Dangers. My rant seemed to have turned into a self-indulgent, self-glorifying sermon, which is also a typical Pakistani value (I’m good, you’re bad). I’m a Pakistani myself, after all, and a third person may very well turn around and point out all those things in me that I despise in others. I hope they won’t, for dignity’s sake.
About
The mass and majesty of this world, all
That carries weight and always weighs the same
Lay in the hands of others; they were small
And could not hope for help and no help came:
What their foes like to do was done, their shame
Was all the worst could wish; they lost their pride
And died as men before their bodies died.
