Social factors leading to rebellion

Rebelliousness is a trait that may be natural but at times it is an outcome of external factors. Feeling bad, guilty, hopeless, dirty, frustrated unworthy or disliked can be the inner reasons. This characteristic may reach a level where it is done without a cause, thus being imprinted as a habit. Political, social, economical etc. are the aspects that can affect the human emotions.
Looking in to Pakistan’s current state, we can find many aspects that can turn a normal person into a rebel.
A person earning enough bread to feed his family two or three times a day, clothing them sufficiently and providing them with shelter can live a contented life if he is not tortured by the external reasons.
Amongst these reasons is a very commonly witnessed, that of a traffic stoppage for security purposes while the VIPs are passing. Is the VIP’s work very important and that of a person waiting for him to pass, of negligible significance?
A wait of ten minutes is understandable but if you are stuck in a blockage for over thirty minutes and that too in the extreme heat of June, then it’s just not fair. If the government is for the people, to the people and by the people, then why is it afraid of the people?
Traffic is blocked everywhere in the world for VIP movement but it never takes more than ten minutes. But here it is made sure that the citizens get frustrated and then in the end it is expected from them that they should abide by the law!
The government’s purpose is to create an environment which may enable the common citizen to lead a hurdle free life and not to perturb them. We certainly don’t want rebels in the society…
