THE BASIC WOES OF OUR TIME
The major evils of our time stem not from our moral depravity but, on the contrary, from our often misguided moral enthusiasm - our desire to build a better world. Our wars are essentially religious ones. They are wars between proponents of competing theories about how to build a better world.

Our moral enthusiasm is often misguided, for we fail to recognize that our oversimplified moral principles are often hard to adapt to the complex political situations we are applying them to.

Nurses Deserve Much Better Than Our Ministers: A Call for Justice and Recognition
Nurses deserve much better than our ministers. It is disheartening to see a group of professionals who give their all—body, mind, and soul—for the welfare of the nation treated as second-class citizens by a system that should protect and empower them.

Nurses Deserve Much Better Than Our Ministers: A Call for Justice and Recognition
Nurses deserve much better than our ministers. It is disheartening to see a group of professionals who give their all—body, mind, and soul—for the welfare of the nation treated as second-class citizens by a system that should protect and empower them.
The recent strike action by nurses is not just a plea for improved wages or working conditions; it is a desperate cry for respect, justice, and dignity. Nurses are among the most educated, skilled, and selfless professionals in the country. Many hold advanced degrees, specialized certifications, and decades of experience. Yet they are repeatedly pushed aside while politicians, some of whom have no professional credibility beyond party loyalty, enjoy endless allowances and luxuries.
Let it be known—many of us nurses come from the very same families that make up this nation. We are not separate from society; we are the heartbeat of it. We nurse your mothers, your children, your grandparents. We stay with patients 24/7, often acting as doctors, counselors, cleaners, and caregivers all in one shift. While ministers attend meetings and enjoy entertainment allowances, nurses clean blood, comfort the dying, and walk miles for night duty without transport support or security.
This strike is not about laziness or greed—it is about survival and principle. How can it be right that those who hold lives in their hands are treated with such disregard, while those who hold microphones and sit in air-conditioned offices enjoy undeserved riches?
If the government claims that it cannot implement our improved conditions of service until 2026, then let them #ForfeitTheEntertainmentAllowance for ministers until then. Use that money to pay nurses. Use it to provide PPEs, to equip hospitals, and to ensure decent salaries for those who stand between life and death every single day.
We will not be silent. We will not accept crumbs while the powerful feast. The media must stop downplaying our struggle and start amplifying our voices. Society must stop asking “why are nurses always complaining” and instead ask, “why are nurses always the ones being mistreated?”
We are educated. We are resilient. We are essential. And above all—we are not asking for charity. We are demanding what is rightfully ours.
#ForfeitTheEntertainmentAllowance
#RespectNursesNow
#ConditionOfServiceIsNotCharity
