The Happy Prince and Pakistani Politics' Resemblance ( Point of View How it Applies in Pakistan )

The Story Happy Prince by Oscar Wilde
Through political point of view we find that this story The Happy Prince has resemblance with our current political affairs
1: In this story when Happy Prince was the ruler, he spent all his time in playing and dancing. He didn't took interest in out of the world.
Just like this our ruler (Politicians) spends all their tie in parties, meetings, visits to other cities and other countries for begging money as Ad.
2: When the Happy Prince ruled, the people of his kingdom were suffering from pain, misery and poverty. The prince lived in the palace, named Sans- Souci (French word mean without griefs) mean sorrow were not allowed there.
Our politicians are doing the same as the Happy Prince did. The whole nation is suffering from poverty, misery, load shedding and rapid increasing in prices. And where our rulers lived it seems like palace, where no load shedding no misery no sorrows. Even our politician not paying there electricity bills.
3: In this story when Happy Prince is not on the throne, the new ruler criticizes the Happy Prince even he is doing the same as Happy Prince did before.
We have same condition, when new ruler comes he criticize ex rulers even he is worst than they were

4: When the Happy Prince's statue was become useless the Mayor said "We must have another statue, and it shall be a statue of myself."
A quotation is written under a politician's pictures for the new politicians in Assembly hall

Well the Politician are doing work for their children for their education their food every thing
they didn't care about whole nation.
they think about themselves not about the whole nation
they are worst really.
Well warrioRR your country need new and loyal rulers otherwise your country is going down and down
Horibbly true!
This is what happens.
P.S. I believe $ will hit 100 PKR within a year's time.
I believe many governments keep their people in poverty on purpose. They don't want the average person to get too strong or too wealthy, because then you could rise up and and take over the government.
In America, our standard of living is going way down. The government let all our manufacturing jobs go overseas. Manufacturing jobs and American products made us a super power. Now that is all gone, and the government just sits there. Just wait and see what is going to happen. Things are going to get ugly!
You have to take those politicians right by the neck and shake them like a dog shakes a miserable rat, because that it what they really are. They work for "we the people", and they have to remember that. If they forget, they have to go.
Our ancestors went through hell and hardship to get to America, and we owe it to them to stand up when things are not right. Just watch and see what happens, it will be interesting.

Thanks for this interesting use of the Wilde story. I will now have to go and read it!
Seems Pakistan has many problems similar to South Africa, especially the load shedding!
Love and peace
