Not when it comes to the genocide of a people, the starvation of 15 million, or the soon-to-be century long occupation of an entire nation. Isn't it high time we stop limiting our scope of morality? 'm Mohammad Arhaam Mukati, 17 year old Muslim Pakistani - Canadian boy living who has promised himself that he will dedicate my life doing something that involves uplifting human rights, fighting for justice, and standing up for the poor and oppressed. BUT, I have one big problem - I have no idea how to get there, well at least not yet. Maybe I'm too optimistic, maybe I'm a bit crazy, I'm not really sure. I mean, part of me dreams of wanting to become either the Prime Minister of Pakistan, work in the Supreme Court of Canada, or even serve as a lawyer for the UN, the other - more sane - part tells me that I need to first finish high school and then University. I know I need to do take action, I can't sit around and do nothing after personally witnessing the suffering of so many people in my country and around the world. But for now, I plan to continue working hard and study int. business, then hopefully int. law.  From there on out, only God knows how I'll ever accomplish my goals...
