Pakistani Film Actresses - Children of Lesser God
They walk among us, unseen yet scrutinized, judged not for
their character but for the mere accident of their birth. Society, in its
self-appointed righteousness, deems them unworthy, children of a so-called
lesser God—outcasts in a world designed to serve the privileged. But did they
choose their fate any more than we chose ours? Did the divine hand offer them a
choice before placing them on the margins while we stood in the comfort of
acceptance?
And yet, despite the weight of such injustice, they survive.
They navigate the treacherous waters of a world that was never meant to
accommodate them, learning the unspoken rules of survival in a game rigged
against them. We scoff at their struggle, mock their means, and dismiss their
resilience—failing to see that in their struggle lies a dignity far greater
than the hollow pride of those who scorn them.
God, in His boundless justice, does not see as we do. He
does not measure worth by lineage or privilege, but by the consciousness with
which we engage the world around us. And in that light, what a damning truth we
must confront—those whom we belittle often live with greater awareness, greater
effort, and greater sincerity than we do.
Take a moment to reflect: Pakistani film actress Meera, whom we ridicule for her
imperfect grasp of English, at least dares to learn, to evolve, to embrace a
language foreign to her. And yet we, who claim devotion to the Divine Word,
recite the Qur’an without ever striving to understand its depths. Meera speaks
English way better than we Muslims speak Arabic (to understand God's Qur’an). In
our arrogance, we remain stagnant, while those we deem inferior move forward,
reaching for something beyond themselves.
So who, then, is truly misguided? Who is truly failing in
their duty to grow, to seek, to understand? Perhaps, before we laugh at them,
we must turn inward and ask: are we really any better?
