To tell the truth, why does the world seem to be full of sad people? Why we always try to use sadness as a tool to uncover the truth. Those who slept on the uncovered stoops of shop as well as who lived in mansions; every man complaints is valid in its own way. Every man's wish is legitimate in its own ways. Every one is seeking for truth without thinking that "truth is only about putting things as it is!" The man who walks about on foot worries that he doesn't have decent shoes to wear neglecting the fact that he doesn't work enough for it.
Why does this society always try to cover the raw and vulgar truth under the dim light of those who are constantly trying to save the society from discrimination? how can they deny the fact that even nowadays, A man remains a man no matter how poor his morality and behavior is! A woman, even if she were to deviate for one instance, from the role given to her by men, is branded a whore. She is viewed with lust and contempt. If both are equals, why are our barbs reserved for the women?
Saadat Hasan Manto, one of the most honest writers I've had the pleasure to read had a very honest perspective about the society. In his biography, He quoted that " “To those men who say that women from “good families” must be a part of our families and society, I have this question: What is it that you mean by “good?” A woman, who honestly puts her wares on display, and sells them without an intention to cheat, is such a woman not virtuous?"

In his another displays he quoted that “If you cannot bear these stories then the society is unbearable. Who am I to remove the clothes of this society, which itself is naked. I don't even try to cover it, because it is not my job, that's the job of dressmakers.”
It's screwed up how we glorify the words that people leave behind, yet turn a deaf ear when they scream the same from rooftops.
