    To advise others is an easy matter, the difficulty is accepting advice -- since it is bitter for those who follow their
    own inclinations and desires

    The best news I received this day. This is life. This is development. lets have more and more such stadiums where the great Pashtuns can play, build their bodies, enjoy themselves like other developed nations. I hope there will be one day such facility for Pashtun women who will be able to enjoy the right to play like their male fellows. Investment of one million dollars should not be wasted. Recreation brings peace. Such steps will make the great Afghanistan an abode of peace, tranquility and development.

      Osho, even though a stadium isn't tht huge of a deal; it seems your understanding of what development means is so immature superficial and childish. It is such cosmetic notions of progress which has backfired and kept Afghanistan in turmoil for the greater part of a century. Food for thought.
