"Aristotle argued that a 'Polis' (city-state) exists for the sake of a 'good life,' not just for the sake of life. In Pakistan, we have reduced the 'good life' to a transaction.

We produce doctors who don’t want to heal, engineers who don’t want to build, and students who don’t want to learn,only to trade their degrees for a ticket out. We are an intellectual colony that exports its best minds and imports its worst ideologies.

When the mind of a nation is in London, Toronto, or Melbourne, but the body is in Lahore or Karachi, does the nation even exist? Or is Pakistan just a geographic ghost of what could have been?"
