Reality is what it is, no matter how it is spun. The fact remains that Pakistan as a whole, is on a steady path of deterioration and destruction.

Reality is what it is, no matter how it is spun. The fact remains that Pakistan as a whole, is on a steady path of deterioration and destruction.
Realty is different for different people within each country and region. This statement is true everywhere, not just in Pakistan, as various international multi-country surveys show consistently.

Yes, that is correct Sir. However, The overall trend for the majority of Pakistanis is indeed downward, no matter how one selectively picks and chooses only the positives.
The surveys show and the evidence and data suggest that the majority of Pakistanis are now much better off than they were 5 or 10 years ago. Pakistan has gone from being low-income to middle-income country and Pakistanis now have access to a lot of things giving them a higher standard of living.

Sir, economically it may be somewhat correct, but given the lawlessness and other factors of social deterioration, the quality of life is going down, and the future indicators are bleak indeed, no matter how you may try to spin them.
Yes, there are problems mainly due to crime and terrorism but such things are not uncommon among developing and emerging nations. In fact, Pakistan is better than many other similar countries in terms of violence.
Just look at Iraq, Nigeria, Venezuela, South Africa, Mexico, Honduras, Chad, Dominican Republic, Central African Republic and Sudan which rank as the the world's 10 most dangerous countries in terms of Progress Index 2014 personal safety component.
