EMPATHY

Our country is trying to move forward on a very exciting and very turbulent path these days.. It seems that the turbulence and whirlpool of emotions in our neighbors (events that we cannot make clear yet?!), where we live close-far emotional integrity, become a little more tense and pave the way for a somewhat more troublesome thought action. The fireball around us is getting bigger with each passing day and is getting closer to our country.. It is clear that more than ever, we need an urgent unification and closeness with great importance.

Since the secular world put into practice the projects that the countries that gave impetus to bloody capitalism prepared and adapted/injected into life centuries ago with all their brutality, it has completely distorted the perceptions that can be considered genuine. They have succeeded in making visual pollution in minds and eyes.

Undoubtedly, the mistake of fastening the first shirt button wrong causes the other buttons to be wrong and unbalanced. Perceptions are dominated by chaos and fixed and stagnant thought has emerged from the plan of action. The world has surrounded everything with its frighteningly fast, active and effective stance.

You are no longer you. You are the way others describe you, and whatever shape and confusion they place you in. You become the other even though you don't want it, because it is wanted that way.

You cannot seize the moment of a calm and peaceful life in the chaos and pomp of daily life. Environmental conditions and life's uniquely imposed struggle for life will never give you this opportunity. We are alone as a society, and we are alone as individuals. We are fighting the inner struggle of recognizing your own existence, like a product which is doomed to be alone. We are forced to act in the feelings of jealousy and envy. Because while the neighbor's child is a well-known college student, your child is in an ordinary school; Half of them are empty and they are preparing for the exam under the same system and conditions by struggling with giants in daily perceptions, or they are condemned to prepare for it..

While he, the other!, is a student candidate of a well-known university, you, as a marginalized! person, have to say hello to life as a poor student of a school that has no importance. The philosophy that dictates this undefined perception to us is like a neck tie, like a dirty scarf, unfortunately in case of destiny in our lives, that’s the sad part..

Life flows so systematically and rapidly that we are unwittingly distracted from the act of stopping and thinking. We are driven away like a conditioned guinea pig.

We have to fight for bread. We are facing the most painful experience of life. We are in a situation where our lives are knotted in an indescribable spiral. Our most precious time is being consumed on the roads. The ornate and tabloid image, the press, the difficult and contentious pursuits of daily life force you to be imprisoned in a difficult predicament.

Within this regard, we are becoming frozen by them over the time..!

Despite all our struggles, we cannot get out of this flaming field.. Especially, God forbid, extra health problems, unknown and incalculable new results force us to be the opposite, and we become marginalized as desired. We are systematically made to be trapped or ready to be trapped.

And unfortunately, there is me, I have to live, and as long as I am, we become a part of the phenomenon of everything that should make sense.. We are transformed into a ritual of absolute ego classification. Despite this fierce opposition/resistance, we still cannot provide a dynamism of which stance can have a great impact?! Here is the milestone of the matter, anyway! Our generally miserable heart naturally triggers our failure and lack of action and self-sacrificing. Unfortunately, this situation stems from our inability to form a unity that will set a barrier against the mentality that paves the way for the deep-thinking calculations that want us to be like this to come to life on us, and that sells its accounts and attracts us to their fields, unfortunately, and it sets a bad example for life. We do not like each other, but the sad part is, we pretend to love each other. Attitudes should never be this agitating and hypocritical. We have to make an effort to be sincere as soon as possible. We can say that this deep essence is an absolute necessity!.

We must resolutely implement the obligation to be ourselves and think for ourselves.

We must protect and watch over knowledgeable and sincere people who are struggling. We must hold tight to these sincere and diligent people at all costs and cooperate with them with all kinds of sacrifices.

The only measure and understanding of our country's ability to pass through these difficult and turbulent roads in a healthier and more comfortable way is hidden in better empathy for ourselves without marginalizing others.

We should now enjoy being ‘us’ instead of ‘me’.

With my respect and greetings..
