By listening to rumours, we are making our solidarity and harmony terrible and we are getting involved in conflict by not listening to the truth. Even if a social state can run like this, it is not possible to advance very far.

We have to come out of individualism and culture for our own sake for future generations and future prosperous and developed Bangladesh. And if not, family, social and state ties will be disrupted. Extreme disorder, anarchy, social discrimination will appear in family, social and state life.

The statistics of trafficking, torture, death and murder abroad are very scary. In any civilized country these statistics and the continuous increase of these occurrences are not desirable.

Capitalist economy and power-centered politics are making it difficult for us to build a healthy and prosperous nation by living healthy and developing free thinking due to the way the poison vapor is spreading.
