Pakistan: A Downward Spiral?

Re: # 5
The fact that you found this article depressing is a good sign. Looking at the world through a pair of rose colured glasses is a disease, self-delusion, deception.
Once in a while, it is healthy to take in the facts as they stand, no matter how unpalatable. There is no denying the fact that in Paistan, the bad outweighs the good.So yeah, being depressed by the truth is good, very good.

spiral has pitch and and time bound same moving down with respect to time. He wants to stress the repeativeness of spiral . Person seems mathematically minded. Wheel, lever and screw are basic machines and he wants to give mechanical model to emphasize downward prectable descend .
Just my feeling.

Depressiong article for sure. Why the writer does not look to positive points like stock market, real estate, foreign currency best relationship with usa, getting F-15 airmachines , Big G port envy of south asians becoming major energy transit point, Gas coming from Iran, free trade agreement between China and Pakistan, building of new nuclear power plants with help of China, construction of Submarines , India hoping to get whaet and cement from pakistan to stem shortage of cement and wheat for poor people of India. Recent capture of terrorist organization and useing mosque and improving relationship with Iran and A.Stan and development going favourable on ground ib held Kashmir and slowly indian govt getting read to leave Kashmir out of its influence, insergent and gravity defying stock market, real estate, recent launch of nuclear capable missile , growth in export and import and great interest of foreign companies in running electricity business and great amout of dollars/ billions flowing in oil and gas sector. Two years ago stck exchange performance top gains in wordl. Let us please look at positive asprects, sageous acceptance of president of CJ case judgement acceptance. Which south asian can match this record, no comparison.

yes, we are indeed n a downward spiral. The reasons for this are many and varied, but I would say that perhapps the most important one is our collective antipathy. We are numb, distanced from what goes on in our country. Unless the people of Pakistan "wake up", so to speak, nothing can be done.

Just curiously nit-picking, why did you choose the word
spiral? Why not slope or fall or descent?

Pakistan: A Downward Spiral?

...the answer is quite simple, "Yes."

.....the asian games example is inadequate....neither here nor there......pakistan will never do well in such games, and pakistani women do not participate, or barely participate.....hence pakistan is only in half the events...and pakistan has been world champion in various other events.....

.......a good way to check is the human development index....pakistan is significantly better off, today, then it was in 1947.......however it reached its peak in late 60s, early 70s, as a country.......and is now in a downward spiral.....
