Today I am in real depression as the attitude of my friends have broken my heart. I have been writing in various online newspapers like a mad person knocking the door of every person to get some help, but I have failed.

::::::::

Now I have accepted the fact that I have been living among the enemies. I have no friend in this world. This realization has broken my heart. I have tried my best to use my journalism for showing the true picture of my area. Today I have written a letter to members of Voice For Peace in Facebook. I shall be interested to share that letter with you so you will judge the situation.

My dear friends,

Today it is really a painful moment for me to make a complaint against your attitude. Actually some of friends have made a complaint to the facebook administration telling them that I have been sending them some materials, which are harmful for their health. Facebook has sent me a warning note telling me to stop this practice otherwise my account will be disabled. So this may be my last message as now I have also fed up with this practice. Sending of messages to you is also harmful for my health.

Yes, this is the fact that I have also the desire to get some money from my friends so I could be able to provide some treatment to my ailing wife and provide some food to my children. Actually I am a journalist and used my profession for earning something for myself.

Before the war in our region I was leading a normal life. I was a chief reporter with a leading newspaper of Peshawar. But when I sensed that a game is being planned by the rulers. Actually that was the time when terrorists were being shifted to tribal areas. I have raised my voice against this dirty game of the rulers. When I wrote a story in my newspaper I was dismissed from job. Rulers have closed all doors of employment on me. I have been declared as mad person. But I did not stop my writing. I have written a lot against terrorism. Later, when I discovered the facebook I have formed Voice For Peace with the sole aim of getting help from somewhere.

I never used my journalism for myself as I considered this profession very sacred. But whenever I felt that my wife Fatima is in pain or my children are hungry I have started weeping. I never begged for money directly. I have always written about the situation of my family and my area. If someone felt that I am in need of help they have provided me help in one way or the other. But I never made a demand. My sole purpose is just winning peace for myself and my family. I am a hard person and can earn my livelihood through my work.

I am still unclear as why my friends have been teasing me. I never harm anyone. I have never sent a hate mail to anyone. I have always shared my love and blessing with you, but still I have been receiving hate mail. Why my friends have been doing this with me? Why I have been questioned so many time?

Actually during last few years I have contributed thousands of articles to various online newspapers without getting anything from them. Still I have been contributing articles in which I have always tried to show the real picture to the world.

I have also worked with John E. Carey, who has blog with the name of Peace and Freedom. John remained adviser to former US president Reagan. Actually he was a Vietnam war veteran. We have contributed one joint article to Washington Times as well. At the end of my message I shall be pasting the link of an article written by John about me. Now I am unclear whether John is alive or not as I have lost contact with him. But as true American he has recognised my service for the humanity. He written several articles about.

Actually in my own area I am still unwanted as the people think I am just wasting my time. They think war is better than peace. But I think they are wrong. Now they have also realized that they are wrong. But still I am wanted in my area. Now I am also an unwanted friend in the facebook. Ok! friends thank you very much for giving me patient hearing. I want to say more, but I think this will be enough.

Love and blessing

Yours friend

Muhammad Khurshid
