خود علاجی (Self-Medication) --- AKSHR

 

خود علاجی (Self-Medication)

خود علاجی ایک عام مگر خطرناک عادت ہے جو آج کے معاشرے میں تیزی سے بڑھ رہی ہے۔ اس سے مراد یہ ہے کہ کوئی شخص ڈاکٹر سے مشورہ کیے بغیر اپنی بیماری کی تشخیص خود کرے اور اپنی مرضی سے دوا استعمال کرے۔

بہت سے لوگ وقت کی کمی، اخراجات کے خوف یا معمولی بیماری سمجھ کر ڈاکٹر کے پاس جانے سے گریز کرتے ہیں۔ وہ پرانی نسخوں، انٹرنیٹ کی معلومات یا دوستوں کے مشوروں پر اعتماد کرتے ہوئے دوائیں استعمال کرنے لگتے ہیں۔ بظاہر یہ طریقہ آسان اور فوری حل معلوم ہوتا ہے، لیکن اس کے نتائج خطرناک ہو سکتے ہیں۔

سب سے بڑا مسئلہ غلط تشخیص کا ہے۔ کئی دفعہ ایک معمولی نظر آنے والی علامت دراصل کسی بڑی بیماری کی نشانی ہوتی ہے۔ اگر کوئی شخص خود سے دوا لے کر علامات کو دبا دے تو بیماری اندر ہی اندر بڑھ سکتی ہے۔

اسی طرح اینٹی بایوٹک ادویات کا غلط استعمال ایک عالمی مسئلہ بن چکا ہے۔ جب لوگ ڈاکٹر کے مشورے کے بغیر اینٹی بایوٹک لیتے ہیں تو جسم میں جراثیم ان ادویات کے خلاف مزاحمت پیدا کر لیتے ہیں۔

خود علاجی کا ایک نفسیاتی پہلو بھی ہے۔ بعض لوگ ہر چھوٹی تکلیف کے لیے دوا لینے کے عادی ہو جاتے ہیں۔ اس طرح جسم کی قدرتی مدافعتی صلاحیت کمزور ہونے لگتی ہے۔

صرف جسمانی نہیں بلکہ جذباتی خود علاجی بھی عام ہے۔ لوگ اپنے دکھ اور ذہنی دباؤ کو کم کرنے کے لیے نشہ، ضرورت سے زیادہ کھانا، یا مسلسل مصروفیت کا سہارا لیتے ہیں۔ مگر یہ وقتی سکون تو دیتے ہیں، اصل مسئلہ حل نہیں کرتے۔

حقیقی صحت اس وقت حاصل ہوتی ہے جب انسان ذمہ داری، شعور اور درست رہنمائی کے ساتھ اپنی دیکھ بھال کرے۔ ڈاکٹر سے مشورہ، متوازن طرزِ زندگی اور ذہنی سکون ہی اصل علاج ہیں۔

تمہارا گھر روشنی سے بھرا رہے جہاں مسکراہٹ چراغ کی طرح جلتی ہو .... اکشر

 

طویل نظم

دعا ہے
کہ جب بدی کی آندھیاں اٹھیں
تو تمہارا دروازہ
ان کے نقشوں میں شامل نہ ہو۔

دعا ہے
کہ حسد کے قدم
تمہاری گلی تک پہنچتے پہنچتے
اپنا راستہ بھول جائیں۔

کہ نفرت
کسی ویران موڑ پر
خود سے ہی سوال کرتی رہ جائے
اور تمہاری دہلیز تک نہ آئے۔

تمہارا گھر
روشنی سے بھرا رہے
جہاں مسکراہٹ
چراغ کی طرح جلتی ہو
اور مہربانی
ہوا کی طرح بہتی ہو۔

اگر ظلم سفر پر نکلے
تو راستوں کی دھول
اس کی آنکھوں میں بھر جائے۔

اگر بد دعا چل پڑے
تو الفاظ اس کی زبان سے
گر کر ٹوٹ جائیں۔

اور تمہارا گھر
ایک ایسی جگہ بن جائے
جہاں صرف سکون
اپنا راستہ پہچانتا ہو۔

کیا کسی نے دیکھا میرا کو مندر میں .... AKSHR

غزل

کیا کسی نے دیکھا میرا کو مندر میں
وہ تو ملتی ہے عاشقوں کے اندر میں

اس کی پوجا نہ تھی کسی رسم کی قید
آگ جلتی تھی اس کے دل کے سمندر میں

گھنٹیوں سے نہیں جاگا تھا اس کا عشق
نامِ کرشن تھا ہر دھڑکتے منظر میں

لوگ پتھر کے بت کے آگے جھکتے رہے
وہ کھڑی تھی محبت کے سمندر میں

مندر و مسجد کی حدیں ٹوٹ گئیں
جب بھی دیکھا اسے کسی کے دل کے اندر میں

عشق جب حد سے بڑھ گیا آخر

خدا خود اتر آیا اس کے منظر میں 

Terror Within ---- AKSHR

 

 

Terror Within

Human beings often fear enemies outside—wars, violence, injustice, or cruelty. Yet the most dangerous terror frequently lives not in the streets but within the human heart. This “terror within” is made of fear, hatred, jealousy, anger, and guilt that silently shape our actions and thoughts.

External violence usually begins as an internal conflict. When a person allows resentment or fear to dominate their mind, it slowly transforms their perception of the world. They begin to see threats everywhere, enemies in every shadow. In such a state, even ordinary situations can appear hostile, and this internal terror starts influencing behavior.

Psychologists often suggest that unaddressed trauma, suppressed emotions, and unresolved conflicts create inner turmoil. This turmoil can turn into anxiety, aggression, or despair. A person haunted by internal terror becomes both the victim and the battlefield. The struggle is invisible but intense.

Societies also reflect the inner states of individuals. When collective fears grow unchecked—fear of differences, fear of change, fear of loss—they create environments where suspicion replaces trust. Communities then experience the external manifestation of what began as internal unrest.

The solution to terror within is not force but awareness. Self-reflection, empathy, and emotional understanding act as tools that disarm this hidden threat. When individuals confront their fears honestly and cultivate compassion, the internal storm begins to calm.

Peace in the world ultimately begins with peace inside the human soul. If humanity wishes to end violence outside, it must first confront and heal the terror within.

How to Laugh Besides Miseries ---- AKSHR

How to Laugh Besides Miseries

Life does not always arrive wrapped in comfort. It often brings loss, uncertainty, fatigue, and silent battles that no one sees. Yet, one of humanity’s most extraordinary abilities is this: to laugh even when life is heavy.

To laugh beside miseries is not denial—it is resistance. It is the mind’s quiet rebellion against despair. Humor does not erase pain, but it softens its edges. A person who can smile in hardship is not ignorant of suffering; rather, they have learned to refuse surrender.

Psychologically, laughter releases tension, resets emotional balance, and reminds the brain that not everything is defeat. Spiritually, it becomes a form of gratitude—an acknowledgment that even in broken moments, life continues to offer breath, memory, and possibility.

But this kind of laughter is not loud or careless. It is often fragile. It appears in small things: a shared joke during difficult days, a memory that suddenly feels lighter, or the absurdity of how unpredictable life can be.

To laugh beside miseries is to say:
“I am still here. I am still human. My pain is real—but it is not all I am.”

It is not escape. It is endurance wearing a softer face. 

Children Are Posters of Parents --- AKSHR

 

Children Are Posters of Parents

Children often become living reflections of their parents. Just as a poster publicly represents a message, belief, or ideology, children unknowingly display the values, attitudes, and behaviors they absorb at home. They are the silent advertisements of their parents’ character.

From the earliest stages of life, children learn not through lectures but through observation. The way parents speak, handle anger, express kindness, show honesty, or treat others becomes the invisible curriculum of a child’s upbringing. A child watches closely and imitates instinctively.

If a home is filled with compassion, patience, and respect, these qualities quietly settle in the child’s personality. On the other hand, if the atmosphere carries conflict, dishonesty, or harshness, those shadows also leave their imprint. In this sense, children become social mirrors reflecting the emotional climate of their homes.

Society often judges parents through their children. When a child shows politeness, discipline, empathy, and confidence, people naturally assume strong guidance behind that behavior. Similarly, when a child struggles with aggression or neglect of values, observers often trace those roots back to the environment of upbringing.

However, this idea should not be understood as a burden but as a reminder of responsibility. Parenting is not about perfection; it is about awareness. Parents who strive to grow morally and emotionally often inspire the same growth in their children.

Children do not merely inherit genes—they inherit habits, language, emotional responses, and ways of seeing the world. Every gesture, every conversation, and every decision becomes a brushstroke painting the poster that the child will one day carry into society.

Therefore, raising a child is not only about providing food, education, and comfort. It is also about shaping the moral billboard that will stand in the streets of the future.

In essence, children are not only the future of society; they are the present reflection of their parents’ character.

Invisible Yet Visible ---- AKSHR

Invisible Yet Visible

Human life is full of paradoxes, and among the most intriguing is the idea of being invisible yet visible. Many of the most powerful forces that shape our lives cannot be seen with the naked eye, yet their presence is undeniable. Emotions, thoughts, faith, love, fear, memory, and hope—these are invisible realities that quietly influence the visible world around us.

Consider the human heart. Physically, it is simply an organ, but the emotions that reside within it cannot be measured by any instrument. Love, for instance, has no color or shape, yet it can transform lives, build families, and even change the course of history. In the same way, hatred and jealousy, though invisible, can cause visible destruction.

Ideas are another example of this paradox. A thought begins silently in the mind—unseen and intangible. Yet when it is spoken or acted upon, it can build civilizations, inspire revolutions, or ignite conflicts. The visible world is often nothing more than the shadow of invisible thoughts.

Nature itself reminds us of this mystery. The wind cannot be seen, but the movement of leaves reveals its presence. Gravity is invisible, yet it governs the motion of planets and the falling of a simple apple. Similarly, human intentions and beliefs, though hidden within the soul, shape actions that the world can clearly observe.

In society, there are also people who are “invisible yet visible.” The poor, the marginalized, and the forgotten often live in plain sight but remain unseen by the eyes of indifference. Their struggles exist openly, yet society sometimes refuses to acknowledge them.

Ultimately, the phrase invisible yet visible reflects a profound truth: reality is deeper than appearance. The visible world is merely the surface; beneath it flows an ocean of unseen forces guiding human behavior and destiny.

To truly understand life, one must learn to look beyond what is seen and listen for what is silently present. Wisdom lies not only in observing the visible but also in recognizing the invisible currents that shape our world.
