“Have patience with everything that remains unsolved in your heart. Try to love the questions themselves, like locked rooms and like books written in a foreign language. Do not now look for the answers. They cannot now be given to you because you could not live them. It is a question of experiencing everything. At present you need to live the question. Perhaps you will gradually, without even noticing it, find yourself experiencing the answer, some distant day.”
— Rainer Maria Rilke

An extract of my email which I wrote to the PM Mian M Nawaz Sharif on 1 October, 2013..!
For the general public, it matters the least that who rules them, but what matters them the most, is how they are ruled.
In view of the foregoing, I forewarn the Pakistani ruling elite and all the public representatives, to beware of the day, when people will welcome any other system with open hands, which will not be so cruel and tyrannical, like the current decadent system of governance.
Moreover, the Honourable Prime Minister of Pakistan, Mian Muhammad Nawaz Sharif Sahab (Hope you remember the solemn commitment of your government on the floor of the house that no mini budget will be coming during the year) is again reminded that, as forewarned earlier, your honour should immediately shunt out those advisors, who are hell bent to ensure that Mian Nawaz Sharif be remembered in the history of the country, as the most hated, cruel and tyrannical ruler of Pakistan, who snatched even the last piece of the dry bread from not one or two persons, but crores (minimum 11 crores) of poor masses.

Recognize When You’re Being Passive-Aggressive
When was the last time you didn’t share your honest opinion when asked? Or the last time you got upset with someone and didn’t let the person know why? Or maybe you procrastinated on an assignment because you didn’t see the value in it. It’s hard to recognize our own passive-aggressive behavior, but if we don’t confront it, it breeds mistrust and erodes our credibility. First, identify what drives you to be passive-aggressive. Understanding the underlying cause (maybe a fear of failure, or rejection, or conflict) allows you to address it head-on. Then be honest with yourself about what you really want: What do you truly think or really want to say? What outcome are you hoping for? Think about how to express those desires in a direct, respectful way. And finally, get input from others to see if you’re improving.
