A nation in despair
A man always wants to see a ray of light in the way of his progress. But when a lot of bad things accompany his life, he might just get derailed. Isn't the present state of Bangladesh manifesting those things? Destruction, corruption--what is not happening in Bangladesh today? A citizen doesn't know when he will die or how he will die (not in the philosophical sense). No one, even the supreme authorities of the country, can give the minimum security to the people. The level of corruption has touched the highest peak. Our hearts are aching for the invaluable assets that we have lost already -- morality and honesty. No harbinger of deliverance from such a suffocating state is coming forth.
Then "Man can be destroyed but can never be defeated." Is it a worthless saying? I don't know the answer. Like most of the people, I am only a witness to the events- a man of straw.
