Pilate نے مزاح میں کہا تھا آخر یہ سچ ہے کیا ؟ اور جواب کیلئے نہ ٹھہر سکا۔ یقیناً لوگ اپنی رائے میں مسلسل تبدیلی کو خوشی سمجھتے ہیں کیونکہ وہ پختہ عقیدہ کو ذہنی غلامی سمجھتے ہیں۔ ان کی خواہش ہے کہ سوچ اور عمل میں مکمل آزادی ہونی چاہیے اور اگر چہ فلسفیوں کا اس قسم کا فرقہ گزر چکا ہے۔ تاہم یہاں پر خاص آراء بدلنے والے لوگ ہیں جن کی حالت بالکل پہلے والوں جیسی ہے۔ لہذا ان میں ویسے دلائل نہیں پائے جاتے ہیں جیسا کہ ان قدیم فلسفیوں میں تھے۔ لیکن آدمی کیلئے سچ تلاش کرنا بڑا مشکل اور دشوار کام ہے ۔نہیں ، دوبارہ جب کہ یہ تلاش کر لیا جاتا ہے تو یہ ذہن پر پابندیاں لاگو کر دیتا ہے ان کے جو جھوٹ کی حمایت میں ہوتے ہیں لیکن اگر چہ ایک فطری بات یہ ہے کہ جھوٹ خود ایک بے کار محبت ہے۔
(Greacians) مکتبہ فکر میں سے ایک فرد اس معاملہ کا جائزہ لیتا ہے اور اس نتیجہ پر پہنچتا ہے کہ اس میں کیا ہے کہ آدمی کو جھوٹ سے محبت کرنا چاہیے۔ جہاں تک شعراء کرام کی بات ہےوہ صرف خوش کرنے کے لیے جھوٹ بولتے ہیں۔ جبکہ تاجر ذاتی فائدے کےلیے جھوٹ بولتے ہیں۔ مگر آدمی جھوٹ کی خاطر جھوٹ بولتا ہے، لیکن میں نہیں جانتایہ سب کیونکر ہے۔ اس قسم کا سچ دن کی واضح صاف روشنی کی طرح ہوتاہے، جو کہ آدمی کی فتوحات ، نفیس لباس اور ماسک نہیں دکھاتا بلکہ موم بتی کی مدہم روشنی میں وہ بڑے شاندار اور شاہانہ نظر آتے ہیں۔ شاید سچ موتی کی قیمت کے برابر ہو سکتا ہے جو کہ دن کی روشنی میں بہتر دکھائی دیتا ہے۔ لیکن یہ (Diamond)یا (Carbuncle)کی قیمت کو نہیں پہنچے گا جو کہ مختلف روشنیوں میں بہتر...
Modern Satanism was founded by Anton Lavey. He described the methodology of Satanic religious rituals, wrote various books on Satanism, and also founded the Church of Satan. Levey's book "The Satanic Bible" is considered as the Holy book by all Satanists. Nine Satanic statements mentioned in the Satanic Bible are given importance as the basic beliefs or principles of this religion. Satanists represent self-centeredness. They believe in retaliating more forcefully than in forgiveness or equality in matters and consider the forgiver as weak. Islam tells that if one takes revenge, take the amount s/he were wronged, and if one are patient, it is better. Satanists do not distinguish between humans and animals and sometimes consider human as God. They favor all sins because they provide physical, mental or emotional satisfaction. Satanists present Satan as the Messiah for mankind. While Allah Ta'ala said in the Holy Qur'an, which means don't follow the path of Satan, he commands you to do evil and obscenity, he also wants to include us among the inmates of Hellfire. Satan is an arch enemy, so one should also consider him as enemy. If people follow the ideas of Satanism, then the law and order will be lost in the society. Everyone will do what he wants, sins will be common. Therefore, it is natural to have riots wherever people with this ideology are found.
The turbulent economic history of Pakistan generally explains the irregular economic growth since establishment. Compared to successful industrializers such as Malaysia, China and South Korea, manufacturing industry has contributed less to GDP in Pakistan and botched to fuel per capita income growth. Any attempt to bring manufacturing out of the stagnation and to make it an engine of growth requires high level of performance from workforce employed in manufacturing organizations. One of the most significant foundation to determine development is the workforce. Mutual correlation between the organization and the employees has been recognized as the most valuable parameter for development. Commitment of employees towards the firm bring settings for the appropriate strategies and standard working for businesses. It has been widely accepted in the literature that organizational commitment and job performance has positive correlation while organizational commitment is inversely related to turnover, absenteeism and tardiness.

Literature has identified numerous factors that affect organizational commitment. Whereas, leadership is the personal and organizational level factor which is considered as a crucial antecedent of employees‘ organizational commitment.
