Default Pakistan's Dilemma: The Elephant Rope

Pakistan's Dilemma: The Elephant Rope

As a man was passing the elephants, he suddenly stopped, confused by the fact that these huge creatures were being held by only a small rope tied to their front leg. No chains, no cages. It was obvious that the elephants could, at anytime, break away from their bonds but for some reason, they did not.

He saw a trainer nearby and asked why these animals just stood there and made no attempt to get away. “Well,” trainer said, “when they are very young and much smaller we use the same size rope to tie them and, at that age, it’s enough to hold them. As they grow up, they are conditioned to believe they cannot break away. They believe the rope can still hold them, so they never try to break free.”

The man was amazed. These animals could at any time break free from their bonds but because they believed they couldn’t, they were stuck right where they were.

This is what we are going through. Being a nation we are used too to "the Elephant Rope". Everyone is going with this corrupt system with this dilemma, no, s/he can't. We can break this weaker chain, just need belief. Challenge status quo and break the chain.
