Thank you. I appreciate your response. But how can politics be considered as a career when it involves making decisions that basically influence everyday life such as taxation, law making, etc. For example, if in Pakistan only the crooked people choose politics as a career than the people that are honest and truthful are affected as well. If a country/society has a shortage of doctors, doesn’t it become an obligation on the individual to take the responsibility of filling that gap. Just like that if there is a shortage of honest politicians, is it right for me to sit back and say that I prefer art as a career? If we leave everything to choice people will tend to take the easier option. Where is the responsibility in that? Isn’t deen supposed to teach us to take responsibility? My intention is not to argue with your point. I have been struggling to clarify this concept for a while but just trying to figure out the answer in an intellectual manner given my limited knowledge. I appreciate your help!
